Let Babylon Burn - It Can T Rain All The Time

I left my shoes beside the door,
My jacket on the chair
I told myself
I needed rest, but
I was hiding there
It can't rain all the time…
I don't need my old life back
I just want to feel this one again—
It can't rain all the time
A neighbour called across the road.
This time
I stopped to talk
He didn't need to know it all;
We took the longer walk
Back home, I took my old guitar
And played a chord
I knew
I let it ring into the room,
Then sang a line or two
