Black Sheets Of Rain

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 keeps 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's stopped 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's stopped 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's stopped shining) Where will you be in my darkest hour of need? (Someone stopped the sun) Here it comes again --- Black Sheets of Rain - Bob Mould
