The Grateful Dead
Looks Like Rain (Live at Community War Memorial, Rochester, NY, November 5, 1977)
[Verse 1]
I woke today, felt your side of the bed
The covers were still warm where you'd been layin'
You were gone, my heart was filled with dread
You might not be sleeping here again

[Chorus]
But it's alright 'cause I love you
And that's not going to change
Run me around and make me hurt again and again
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name
And brave the storm to come
For it surely looks like rain

[Verse 2]
Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?
You'd guess from the cries you were listening to a fight
Well, you know, oh, hate's just the last thing they're thinking of
They're only tryin' to make it through the night

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down
Or fit you in the lines I might've drawn
It's just that I, I, have gotten used to havin' you around
My landscape would be empty, if you were gone
[Chorus]
But it's alright 'cause I love you
And that's not going to change
Run me around and make me hurt again and again
But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name
And brave the storm to come
For it surely looks like rain

[Outro]
'Cause it looks like rain
Here come the rain
Whole world's turning gray, and it looks like rain
(Brave the storm to come)
Here come the rain
(Brave the storm to come)
'Cause it looks like rain and it feels like rain, oh
Here come the rain (Brave the storm to come)
'Cause it looks like rain and it feels like rain, oh
Here comes the rain (Brave the storm to come)
'Cause it looks like rain and it feels like rain, oh
Here comes the rain (Brave the storm to come)
Said it looks like rain and it feels like rain, oh
Here comes the rain (Brave the storm to come)
'Cause it looks like rain and it feels like rain, oh
Here comes the rain (Brave the storm to come)
'Cause it looks like rain and it feels like rain, oh
Oh, here comes the rain
Said it looks like rain and it feels like rain, oh, oh
Here comes the rain (Brave the storm to come)
Said it looks like rain and it feels like rain, oh
Here comes the rain
The people up — hello — the people up in the front are getting smashed horribly again. If everybody on the floor could sorta try to move back, it'd be helpful. Back. Move back. Move back. Move back. Move back. It's hard for us to get off seeing smashed human bodies up here, know what I mean? Give us a little mercy
