Rainy Day

Sitting on a hillside
watching the world go by
It’s easy if you try to see all the masquerades
People sad and lonely
Their faces long
trying to remember some old song
they’ve heard
Going through those same routines
They recall the tune
but they don’t remember what it means
Daily grind
Check the time
When will today ever end?
You’ve got a lot to give
Don’t save it for a rainy day
Don’t let it slip away from you
So give it all you’ve got to give
Don’t save it for a rainy day
You’re running out of time
you’ve got to make up your mind
Standing at a party
your white face on
trying to juggle conversations
(You)see someone you recognize
from across the room
staring back at you
The mirror behind those eyes
discerns the truth from all of the lies
Same old line
check the time
When will this party ever end?
You’ve got a lot to give
Don’t save it for a rainy day
Don’t let it slip away from you
So give it all you’ve got to give
Don’t save it for a rainy day
You’re running out of time
you’ve got to make up your mind
(You) find yourself sitting on the sofa
so many thought to mull over
and you tell yourself to come out of this shell
this self-made hell
is all very well
but there’s got to be another way
You’ve got a lot to give
Don’t save it for a rainy day
Don’t let it slip away from you
So give it all you’ve got to give
Don’t save it for a rainy day
Don’t let it slip away from you
