Early Summer Rain - Kevin Welch, The Overtones

I dream with my eyes open

I see with my eyes closed

I watch through many windows

Heaven only knows

Some words can’t be spoken

Some things can’t be explained

Out when it gets lonesome

In the early summer rain

Black crow he’s the joker

Red rail hawk’s the king

Diamondback he’s the tax man

He don’t miss a thing

Out where there’s no forgiveness

Out where’s there’s no blame

Out where it’s gets lonesome

In the early summer rain

There’s wind down in these ditches

There’s red dust on the rye

But there’s storm up on the ridges

There’s a silver tear in my eyes

All I know is you my friend

Will not see my pain

Out where it gets lonesome

In the early summer rain

There’s a red flying horse by the roadside

Spreading his wings again

Me and him are gonna take a little ride

Hope we catch a good tail wind

Take me to the purple mountain

Where nobody knows my name

Out where it gets lonesome

In the early summer rain

There’s wind down in these ditches

There’s red dust on the rye

But there’s storm up on the ridges

There’s a silver tear in my eyes

All I know is you my friend

Will not see my pain

Out where it gets lonesome

In the early summer rain

All I know is you my friend

Will not see my pain

Out where it gets lonesome

In the early summer rain
