nattyMatty Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hammer and ripsaw, the waves keep a-risin'Step up and tell us the name of your poisonI took a step forward, fell out of my hatAt the sign in the window saying "Take What You Lack"I went to inquire just about how much painWas needed to purchase the keys to the rainI mean, who do you think is gonna believe itWhen you tell them you got the keys to the rain?Sweet Mary was walking her dogs in the fireSinging some tune called "My Hope And Desire"Her tears were like needles that hung on a chainShe didn't ask nothing except more of the sameHer blue eye was scarlet, her blind eye was fameShe wore a tattoo that said "Lock Up The Rain"But I mean, who do you ever get to believe itWhen you tell them you got the keys to the rain?Yo no soy marinero, por tu sere (note 1)Por tu sere, por tu serePara bailar a La BambaSe necesita un poco de graciaThe prodigal son steals off in the nightHe done it before and it worked out all rightHe took a wrong turning, wound up in a ditchHe could have done worse, though, and ended up richHis songs were cut open and found to be clayThe hope of the future served up on a trayI mean, who do you think is gonna believe itWhen you tell them you got the keys to the rain?You caught me and held me and called me your ownThen kicked in my teeth and left with my boneNow I know you ain't little, but I ain't that smallAnd you had surprise on your side, after allSo I'm making a wish, I never done that beforeThis is the first time and I hope there ain't moreBut just who do you think is gonna believe itWhen you tell them you got the keys to the rainThe just and the crippled both push up the flowersAnd nothing remains but the song of the hoursI hope you can dig it I know that you willBut please don't run hide when I come with my billAnd before you get trying this noose on for sizeIt's so quick to fall, yes, and so slow to riseAnd who do you think you'll get to believe youWhen you tell them you got the keys to the rain?Yeah, who do you think you're gonna get to believe itWhen you tell them you got the keys to the rain?-Robert HunterHe wrote that.
