Any Rain

Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys

From the album Truth Serum (2013)

 Suffering is optional

I heard a wise man say

You can live in violence

Or you can make it fade away

Live and let live I heard it said

Or else I musta read it in a book

Testimonials in my head

Just might have to take another look

Any rain

Black rain or red rain

Anything to ease the pain

Anything to ease my sanity, yeah

Tears are runnin’ all down my face

But only for a little while

I was thinkin’ about the human race

And wishin’ we could reconcile

Live and let live is it too much to ask

Or would you rather it fall apart

Ceremonials in the trash

In a world of broken hearts

Any rain, Any rain, Any rain

Any rain

Black rain or red rain

Anything to ease the pain

Anything to ease my sanity, yeah

Ease my sanity, yeah

Ease my sanity, yeah

Ease my sanity, yeah

Any rain

Any rain

Any rain

Any rain

Black rain or red rain

Anything to ease the pain

Anything to ease my sanity, yeah

Any rain
