Music takes you exactly where you need to be.
I lived on this record after I learned what "incompatible with life" meant and I lost my baby.
I pull it out again today to steel my nerves and cry tears for so many of us struggling.
My heart hurts so much for you today.
Every time it rains I listen to the sky
And wonder what's so great about sunshine
Everybody lives and everybody dies
And no one's gonna love you like I do
When it was getting dark
I didn't need a match
I never needed light to see you
You thought I disappeared
But I was always here
I could never get that far from you
Though I misunderstand
And been misunderstood
So love me 'cause you can
And not because you should
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
Take it as it comes
And take me as I am
I never was a good imposter
But I know how to dream
And don't know where I stand
I'm willing to admit I try too hard
Stop playing with my heart
I'm waiting by the phone
Afraid to be myself
Afraid to be alone
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
And every time it rains
I'm gonna hide myself inside
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
And wonder what's so great about sunshine
Everybody lives and everybody dies
And no one's gonna love you like I do
When it was getting dark
I didn't need a match
I never needed light to see you
You thought I disappeared
But I was always here
I could never get that far from you
Though I misunderstand
And been misunderstood
So love me 'cause you can
And not because you should
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
Take it as it comes
And take me as I am
I never was a good imposter
But I know how to dream
And don't know where I stand
I'm willing to admit I try too hard
Stop playing with my heart
I'm waiting by the phone
Afraid to be myself
Afraid to be alone
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
And every time it rains
I'm gonna hide myself inside
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know it's good to be alive
Every time it rains
I know I'm trying to survive
Don't worry about me. This song just caught me when I was vulnerable - too much troubling news lately.
I don't need the comments, but our fellow bloggers might:
This is for you, Mo.
This is for you, Kim from Chaos.
This is for you, Lifeslurper.
This is for you, egghunt.
This is for you, Lut.
This is for you, Suzy.
This is for you, R.
You are not alone.
Just a quick hug to let you know I'm thinking about you every day.
