Lyrics: Chris Robinson [and Phil Lesh?]
Music: Chris Robinson [and Phil Lesh?]
A new song played by Chris Robinson with Phil Lesh & Friends in
2012. Parts of the lyrics are hard to make out: grateful for any help.
You take your last curtain call
The pause before the applause
Before the roses and champagne are dead
Before the day of the inevitable fall
Sometimes even gold can pay
Sometimes midnight shines
Some people cannot stand the rain
Others find it's fine
Before there was innocence
When you cried a silver, silver tear
Before there was tenderness
We both knew what was there
Now the rainy day singers get to sing this song
Get to make them crying, make them chant
And the rainy day children all sing along
Laughing as they sing another sad song
Tell me you can hear them, 'cause what's that ringing in your ears
Full of forgetfulness
Things imagined, things real
Long gone rememberance
And the way that makes good feel
Oh and there was innocence
When you cried a silver, silver tear
Oh there was tenderness
We both knew what was there
Now the rainy day singers get to sing this song
Get to make them crying, make them chant
And the rainy day children all sing along
Laughing as they sing another sad song
Tell me you can hear them, 'cause what's that ringing in your ears
Now the rainy day singers get to sing this song
Get to make them crying, make them chant
And the rainy day children all sing along
Laughing as they sing another sad song
Tell me you can hear them, 'cause what's that ringing in your ears
