John Lennon
Rain / Don’t Let Our Youth Go to Waste
[Intro]
Thank you, thank you to the soundman
For the first time in New York
"Rain"
[Verse 1]
If the rain comes
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
When the rain comes
When the rain comes
And when the sun shines they run into the shade
And drink their lemonade
When the sun shines
When the sun shines
[Chorus]
Rain
I don't mind
Shine
The weather's fine
[Verse 2]
And I can show you that when it starts to rain
Well, everything's the same
Oh, I can show you
I can show you
[Chorus]
Rain
I don't mind
Shine
The weather's fine
[Verse 3]
Can you hear me, when it rains and shines?
It's just a state of mind
But can you hear me
Can you hear me?
"Don't Let Our Youth Go To Waste"
[Verse 1]
I need to walk by the flowers with someone to share my face
Looks like nobody could take your place
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have
[Chorus]
Don't let it go to waste
[Verse 2]
I could show you memories to rival Berlin in the thirties
I understand your dating-bar ways
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have
[Chorus]
Don't let it go to waste
[Verse 3]
Say something warm, say something nice
I can't stand to see you when you're cold
Nor can I stand being out of your life
And I could bleed in sympathy with you
On those days
And I could drink up everything you have
[Chorus]
Don't let our youth go to waste
[Outro]
Thank you, thank you
(Thank you)
