An Unexpected Rain (Album Version)

Artist：melissa etheridge

Songs Title：an unexpected rain

First time I saw you

Back in 1982

An LA bar

I've come so far

In my Kansas dancing shoes

I'm just a singer

And I'm looking for a song

Do you want to sing along

Two greyhounds later

And I'm feeling alright

I've got to have you

And it must be tonight

Come on back to my place

Well it's really just a room

But I'll be making some money soon

Goodbye and thank you

Oh my number yeah- please phone

Two or three weekends

On the 405 alone

You say come on and stay

And when you sing down at the bar

It will not be so far

And I tried to do my best

I never meant to hurt no-one

I was waiting for my break

That I knew one day would come

And I'd plug in my guitar

And I'd look out across the room

And I'd dig into my heart

And I'd try to sing the truth

And I know I did my best

I never meant to hurt no-one

As I recall

Back in 1982

I never said goodbye or why

I just left a note for you

Then one night I saw you

Across the road

Across the dark

A shameful spear into my heart

Your look was haunting

An unexpected pain

I am so sorry

For the unexpected rain

The sadness that you kissed

The fresh scars on your wrist

I can't make it go away

Good night ladies

Good night

I'm gonna leave you now

Good night ladies

Good night

I'm gonna leave you now
