I Think It's Gonna Rain Today

Lyrics: Unknown
Music: Unknown

Played by the Healy-Treece Band in the early 1980s with Bill Kreutzmann on drums. It's sometimes listed as "Rain Song" on setlists. I think it's probably an original. Rather confusing, a rehearsal tape from 28 May 1981 has three versions of Magic Door wrongly labelled as "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today 1, 2 and 3".

Go down to the ocean, see your brother
You know your whole damn family's there
Turn round, look back and see your Maker
He laughs out loud, you are not there

I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today

California star is brightly shining
For brothers we know whose lives gone by
Turn round, look back and see your sister
But she laughs out loud, you are not real

I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today

A thousand faces, a million stories
The lives and loves who works for years (note 1)
Turn round, look back and see your lover
She calls your name but she's not there

I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today

California star is brightly shining
For mighty men who's works live here
Turn round, look back and see your mother
But he is here and you are there

I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
I think it's gonna rain today
