Mission in the Rain (Live at Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA, February 19, 1978) lyrics
by Jerry Garcia Band
[Verse 1]
I turn and walk away
Then I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow
I'll do pretty much the same
I must turn down your offer
But I'd like to ask a break
I'm ready to give everything
For anything I take
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone called my name, you know I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me
[Chorus]
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
[Verse 2]
Years ago, I walked these street, my dreams were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful, Lord, for any dream at all
Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true
But everything you gather is just more that you can lose
[Chorus]
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
All the things I planned to do, I only did halfway
Tomorrow will be Sunday, born of rainy Saturday
There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
No matter what comes down, the Mission always looks the same
[Chorus]
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
[Outro]
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again
Walking along in the Mission in the rain
[Instrumental Outro]
