It's Raining in the South Again

from Awful, Pompous, & Artificial by Bomethius

lyrics

It’s raining in the South again
And all the trees are weeping
Fallen leaves and faded lanes
Hilly roads that still feel the same

Cops were hiding in the medians
Looking for any reason
You were sleeping
Dreaming of your bed
And I was driving
And I was holding your hand

A few more hours slipped by
Before we were at y’all’s stop sign
The children were playing in the street
And oh how they shouted their greetings

It’s time for dinner
There’s tea and funny stories
And then it’s all street lights and cigarettes
And maybe another game of chess

This week of memories will account
For a year of changes
But just like before
This trip comes to its end
And yet we’re happy to go
Though we hate to be leaving
We’ve really gotta move
On down the road
But are we happy to go?
No we hate to be leaving
Why do we have these lives of our own?
Why do we have these lives of our own?

It’s raining in the South again
I’ll join the leaves in weeping
