==================Sleepy-Town=====
I whisper beautiful secrets
into the drainpipes at night
for the old folks while they're sleeping,
something to help them with their dreams
I climb the walls of the cemetery,
lay down on the grave of my father
I hear him asking me for forgiveness
so I close my eyes in prayer
and then a rainy-rainy-rain falls down
cool rainy-rain upon my head
makes the river overflow its banks
and wash my cares away
to sleepy-town
I pour whiskey in my honeycomb
it makes the bees all turn to angels
I watch �em fly off into heaven,
disappear where I can't follow
and I would write Jesus a letter
but I hear that he don't speak English
so instead I'll just throw these cobblestones
until I ring that old church bell
until the rainy-rainy-rain falls down
cool rainy-rain upon my head
makes the river overflow its banks
and wash my cares away
in sleepy-town
you let the wild wind blow away your name
in sleepy-town
you let the healing rain just wash your pain away
I see a light on in the station
yeah someone's waiting for a train
and I envy them their leaving
as I turn to head back home again
for soon the morning sun will rise
and this little town will open up its eyes,
return from a land I've never been
from a sleepy-town that's free from
all the rainy-rainy-rain falls down
cool rainy-rain upon my head
makes the river overflow its banks
and wash my cares away
