Story Behind The Song

I could write it because I lived it.

Song Description

This song is all about finding a way to get yourself moving again after sadness has weighed you down to a point where you feel like giving up.

Lyrics

Well I been 'neath the clouds so long, I wonder when did it begin
Say I been standin' in the rain so cold, since I don't know when
But I know, hmmm, sun's gonna shine on me again.

Well each day I walked alone, down by the riverside
Wonderin', once my dreams is gone, how will I, my time a-bide
And there my tears they mixed with the mornin' rain
Leaving streaks behind on the rocks they stained
And I asked the Lord above me, help me find my feet again.

Well I found her 'neath the mist cloud of a waterfall, where she'd stand alone
Sayin' hey won't you lay your heart open honey, I'll make your troubles my own
But when I told her all the things keepin' me from you
When I swore my whole world was fallin' through,
Well all she did was smile, and say you don't look bad in blue.

Well I found him on a raft, floatin' down to Memphis, readin' about today
I said hey hey, hey old man, what do you say?
He say, I been 'buked and scorned, I been forlorn
I been tied up face into the wind
I been down so long, I wouldn't know where to begin
But I know, them clouds are movin'
And the sun's gonna shine on me, one more time again
