This pitiful rain
Won't water no roots
It won't even wash
Any dust off my boots
And you're like the sun
Behind clouds of gray
Well, it don't get much darker
When you take it away
Well, I might find a dream to follow
Though it's hollow through and through
But I ain't gonna follow my reckless heart
When it comes to you
When it comes to you
Well, t's not like I want
It's not like you care
I don't mean as much to you
As the ribbon in your hair
And, you can make love
But only skin gets touched
And, you could never respect nobody
Who could want you very much
Well, I may find a star to follow
Though it's a long shot, too
But, I ain't gonna follow my reckless heart
When it comes to you
When it comes to you
Let this night go by before I've got to choose
With the light I'll try and decide what it is I must do
They say grace comes down among us
In so many disguises
When it comes to you
I don't ever recognize it
Well, here's living proof
The sun also rises
I guess all in all
There aren't too many surprises
This pitiful rain
Is only trying to be kind
But I can't see it washing
Out this stain inside
Well, I may find a hard act to follow
And some pride to swallow, too
But I ain't gonna follow my reckless heart
When it comes to you
When it comes to you
