The tide is changing, comes and goes
So what's the meaning no one knows
The moon's suspended from a string
The world is spinning round and round
I found myself in the lost and found
In a nightgown borrowed from the King
September came and with it endless rain
I heard a distant train whistle echo in the night
Writers write and fighters fight
And mothers sigh and sanctify a lullaby
For the sleepy eye of a hurricane
And so I hanged myself from gallows borrowed
Drowned myself in pain
And I'll never live to see tomorrow
Standing in this town of endless rain
Standing in this town of endless rain
Standing in this town of endless rain
I got laid off then I got hired
I got a job then I got fired
They said they loved me like a son
People come and people go
And where they coming from I don't know
Me I'm off to the rodeo
November came and still the endless rain
Is falling from the sky to the river to the sea
The tide is changing rearranging things
I hope the sands of time will forgive me of this crime
It's so insane
And so I hanged myself from gallows borrowed
Drowned myself in pain
Hell I'll never live to see tomorrow
Standing in this town of endless rain
Standing in this town of endless rain
Standing in this town of endless rain
