Nine Days Of Rain

Does it rain like it rains here on 5th street?
Nine days long the rain drops finding what's wrong with
This roof I've raised over my head
Does time fly like it does here on the 2nd floor?
Five ways to go but only one place to be
If only I could get there from here
If only I could get there today
If only I could get there today

Wish it was simple like a train
Ride behind windows, invisible
While towns pass like sand through fingers

Wish it was simple like color
Flashes in the soul
Like telephones connected to imaginary friends
You might not know how it gets
You might not know how it gets
You might not know

And if it was simple like a smile
On paper plate faces instead of pages
Of songs with no words

Does it rain like it does here on 5th street?
Nine days long the rain drops finding what's wrong with
This roof I've raised over my head
If only I could get out of here today
Wish I could get out of here today
If only I could get out of here today
