Janis Ian — Take Me Walking in the Rain

[Verse 1] This town isn't big enough for my dreams This place is just about to break at the seams Baby baby, you and I With just a little bigger piece of the sky Big hopes, big dreams Baby, can you set me free? [Chorus] Take me walking in the rain Let me be a child again Let it wipe away the tears Wash away the years Take me walking in the rain Take me right here in the sand Let me feel your heart on mine Life'll never be the same Take me walking in the rain [Verse 2] This life may be good enough for the rest But this heart is just about to break through my chest I remember every rule I've heard And I'm strangling on every word I can't say they're wrong But baby how can I go on? [Chorus] Take me walking in the rain Take me dancing in the waves, baby Let 'em wipe away the tears Wash away the years Take me walking in the rain Take me right here where I stand Let me feel your heart on mine I will never be the same We've got everything to gain Take me walking in the rain [Verse 3] Baby baby, you and I With just a little bigger piece of the sky Hold on, hold tight I don't wanna waste this night [Chorus] Take me walking in the rain Let me see your face again Try to wash away the tears Wipe away the years Take me walking in the rain Take me right here in the sand Let me feel your heart in mine I don't want somebody new I just want the rest of you Take me walking in the rain I don't want somebody new I just want the rest of you Take me walking in the rain Take me right here in the sand Life ain't what we plan Take me walking in the rain [Outro] Take me walking in the rain Let me see your face again, baby Take me walking in the rain Take me walking in the rain Life ain't nothing like we planned Take me right here in the sand
