All I’m gonna do is watch the rain today
Bubble down the hill
Maybe it’ll tell me something I don’t know
Lord knows nothing else will
And I can’t complain, no one’s died
And all the pain is inside
As I watch the rain fall down from the sky

How many afternoons have I let get away
Watchin the rain come down
Somewhere downstream some farmer’s watchin his
Precious crops all drown
And it’s pourin down like last night’s beer
Drippin through the coils of my inner ear
As I watch the rain fall down and disappear

I don’t gotta do anything—at all
I don’t gotta do anything—it just falls

All I’m gonna do is watch the rain today
Fall down from the sky
Every drop of rain is like a part of me
Watch my insides cry
Soon enough it all washes down the drain
Hear the thunder roar like a far-off train
All I’m gonna do is sit and watch the rain today

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
