Blind Melon - No Rain

These lyrics are from memory.... I welcome any corrections. This song was, if there was any, my high school class' song. Freshman year, a band of some of my friends did it at the talent show, and then again our senior year as a reminder. I'm usually opposed to covers, but sometimes the best version of a song is the one you sing with friends, huddled close and hugging, making memories.


All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watching the birds gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
but it's not sane

I just want someone to save me
I'll always be there when you wake
I'd just like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And why I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away but it's a great escape
Escape... escay-ay-ay-ayayape

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view
You think that' I'm insane
Insane... insane

I just want some one to save me oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll always be there when you wake, yeah.
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
Y'know I'm really gonna really gonna really gonna have it made

oh-oh-oh ( x3 )
oooohhhh
