    LOOKS LIKE RAIN TODAY

    Looks like rain today,
    and the sky is falling sideways.
    Looks like rain today,
    and there's never any clouds-
    But still by Rose's sidewalk
    sit anoraked men in puce
    (with their labels and umbrellas out)
    Never any fear
    they doubt the weather will be sunny soon...

    Hey the nighting hours,
    with some starry, foreign whisper.
    Hey the nighting hours,
    with their evanescent song-
    But still by Rose's sidewalk
    sit the weather men in puce
    (with their labels and telescopes out)
    Never any fear
    they doubt the darkness will devour them...

    Umber setting, sun you are
    the angel of my happy days.
    Umber setting, sun you are
    the captivating, noxious rays that taunt
    /the weather men in puce/
    that Rose's sidewalk used to sing-
    (with assorted, cling-filmed sandwiches)
    Never any fear
    as the moon hangs overhead.

    Lozi that was so nice, my favorite part was;
    "Hey the nighting hours,
    with some starry, foreign whisper.
    Hey the nighting hours,
    with their evanescent song- "

    Well done.

    Long as I remember the rain been comin' down
    Clouds of myst'ry pourin' confusion on the ground
    Good men through the ages tryin' to find the sun
    And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain

    / G - C G / G Em C G / C G C G / C D Em G /

    I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm
    Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
    Five year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains
    And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain

    Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more
    The crowd had rushed together tryin' to keep warm
    Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears
    And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain
