Rain On

I watched you

in the music store

rock a neon beauty

solid gold guitar

playing it groovy

like a ten cent movie

the lines on your face

mapping the road to

some far-out place

stage lights blurring

a psychedelic blend

burnin' like incense

smoke in the end

you said it had a good sustain

your Les Paul

make it rain

got a lyric or two

left in you

yeah you do

I heard you sing

head back

throw it down

pick is rocking

your old sound

lights surround you

back to back

faces painted

fade to black

heard the roar

hush the screams

fans and dreams

of your before

now and then

you're asked to play

you decline

say, not today

except I heard

when I happened by

heard you play

and make it cry

just another shadow

audience of one

in a blaze of purple haze

before you were done

a skipping record

replay groove

made me dance

made me move

ten feet tall

and I could see it all

through your eyes

even though

they were

closed
