The Late September Dogs lyrics
by Melissa Etheridge
[Intro]
Kevin, play me somethin' like you just were playin'
[Verse 1]
Just outside my window I hear the late September dogs
And I understand their warning, I understand their song
Since you left I feel the change in the air
And night after night I'm searching for mercy everywhere
So I wake in the street and I call out your name
And I shout to the sky, please
[Chorus]
Come on, let it rain
Let it rain down on me
Let the rain touch my hand
Let the rain set me free
Let it rain down on me
[Verse 2]
Silence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the bone
In dreams the hand that touches you is mine and mine alone
Cruel is the light, is the morning shining down on me
Hours with the devil to understand just what you need
So I wake in the street and I call out your name
And I shout to the sky, oh, come on
[Chorus]
Come on, let it rain
Let it rain down on me
Let the rain fill my eyes
Let the rain set me free
Let it rain down on me
[Verse 3]
Just inside the distance I hear the late September dogs
And so I beg for sleep, the child who walked before she crawled
Damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain
The spear in your side is me
[Chorus]
Come on, let it rain
Let it rain down on me
Let the rain touch my hand
Let the rain set me free
Oh, let it rain
Let the rain fill my eye
I don't wanna see
No, let it rain down on me
Let it rain down on me
Oh, oh
[Outro]
Oh
Mmm
