drinking this rain

Bon Iver

With the cornfields as my witness
I ve run out of brain
Come on down to the place where I m drinking
Come on down like the rain

And if you don t come quick
I m gonna dry up in this world
I think it s all coming down
All cause of a girl

And it s coming to me
Like a baseball to a bat
I m only hitting. 118
And I m wondering where you re at

And the oak on the bar
Is like the oak in my heart
And like the oak buried deep down in the sand
I got a water at heart

And it goes in through my mouth
And it slides into my veins
And it takes away my head
I don t have to feel the same

And my eyes go red
And my skin goes warm
And at the end of the night
I m just cryin in my bed

Some call it sick
Some call it pain
Some just laugh at it
But honey, it s like the rain
It s like when thirsty
And there s none in the well

It s like bringing darkness
When darkness has already fell
It s like breaking dreams of a broken man
And nothing makes it come on down
Like the rain came
