Black Sheets of Rain (Live At Carnegie Hall / 11/17/2014) - Ryan Adams

Checking in every morning

To the sound of steam and caffeine

The sludge in the bottom of the cup

Just like the sludge in the stream

Slag heap keep growing higher

Every morning the sky, it's on fire

And it's only 9 AM again

Is there an upside to every downside?

Keep it inside, it's a downward slide of broken glass

Keeps building in piles

And I don't know

I don't know if the sun ever smiles

It's the black sheets of rain

Following me again

Everywhere I go

Everywhere I've been

Following me again

I feel the toxins fill my blood stream as I'm walking

through the parking lot

Over and over and over and over and over and over

The clouds hanging over

Choking the life out of me

The motto seems to be

"We work in order to be free"

It's the black sheets of rain

Following me again

Everywhere I go

Everywhere I've been

Following me again

Over and over and over and over and over and over again

Where were you in my hour of need

(I never see the sun stop shining)

The clouds roll over the sunlight

(Someone stopped the sun from shining)

And I stand here, ready to bleed

(I never see the sun stop shining)

A little rain is all we need

(Someone stopped the sun from shining)

Where will you be in my darkest hour of need?

(I never see the sun stop shining)

Where will you be in my darkest hour of need?

(Someone stopped the sun)

Here it comes again
