Lyrics by Reba Fritz

First Rain of the Year

First rain of the year and I’d been waiting through the snow and the window world.
Well you can never tell if its bird or a leaf on the branch till wind blows in and it flies or falls.
Sad in the morning and it carried through the day, there’s a sinking feeling that stays and plays and reminds me to see, reminds me what I know, remember to go, and to stay stay away.
Reminds me what I know, remember to go and stay stay away.
A hedonist, an idealist, tragedy and taboo.
The four of us in your room, in your pale room.
Oh oh, you’ll never love me, you’ll never love me. ohh.
Sad in the morning and it carried through the day, there’s sinking feeling that stays and plays and reminds me to see, reminds me what I know, remember to go, and to stay stay away.
Reminds me what I know, remember to go and stay stay away.
My minds cold enough to see it so.
