Album: Morning Report (2016)

A Little Rain (A Song For Pete)

I was getting desperate
Yes, I was
Yes, I was
A couple bad days had turned into months, into months

I stumbled in
To St. Peter's Cathedral
There I was
I'd never tried religion, but man I'd try anything once

You were smiling, wearing a t-shirt
From a rally in 1992

When the rain starts coming down
A little rain ain't bringing me down
When the rain starts coming down
A little rain ain't bringing me down

You said “Let's meet in the morning
Get some sleep so you can clear your head”
The morning sun had the sidewalk scorching
So you knew the clouds would be rolling at 5:00 or 6:00, at 5:00 or 6:00pm
Now at the diner I started crying
Well Pete said, you got a friend in me

When the rain starts coming down
A little rain ain't bringing me down
When the rain starts coming down
A little rain ain't bringing me down

Now the chapters of your life might take you by surprise
And the last plot twist you never saw it coming
Don't rush just take your time and know I'm by your side
And when you're good, we'll hit the ground running
Running, running

And when the rain starts coming down
A little rain ain't bringing me-

When the rain starts coming down
A little rain ain't bringing me down
When the rain starts coming down
A little rain ain't bringing me down

I'm hung up on everything that I'm not
Pete said look around at everything that we got
Yeah, yeah
