lyrics

i gave away everything i own today
caught a penny in my pocket and ran away
all i need is something good to happen to me
so i'm walking off the years, dying steadily
so i'm walking off the years, dying steadily

i hope you brought a rain coat
happiness doesn't come to you without a fee
oh, i hope you brought a rain coat
you will never stop the raining so go on with it, please
you will never stop the raining so go on with it, please
there is sun with every lightning that is striking on me

i wake up from a nap and
can't believe where i am
i laid my head in the sand
i wake up from a nap and
i'm still here
god, you must be seeing some kind of plan
i keep waking up and damn it i'm the same sick man
i can't feel for too much longer
'cause i'm feeling it bad

chorus

i hope you brought a rain coat
every moment is unexpected and i pray for the next
i hope you brought a rain coat
i see a break in the clouds and it's scaring me to death
you will never get this close again without being kept
you'll eventually be forever in a garden of rest

chorus
