Warren Zevon — Fistful of Rain

[Verse 1] You can dream the American Dream But you sleep with the lights on And wake up with a scream You can hope against hope That nothing will change Grab a hold of that fistful of rain [Chorus] Grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Ooh) Grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Ooh) Grab a hold of that fistful of rain [Verse 2] When your grasp has exceeded your reach And you put all your faith In a figure of speech You've heard all the answers But the questions remain Grab a hold of that fistful of rain [Chorus] Grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Ooh) Grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Ooh) Grab a hold of that fistful of rain [Bridge] And when diamonds turn back into coal (Ooh, ooh) Grab a hold, children, grab a hold When the mountains crumble (Ooh, ooh) And you're ready to rumble And roll like a runaway train (Ooh, ooh) [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] And when diamonds turn back into coal (Ooh, ooh) Grab a hold, children, grab a hold When the mountains crumble (Ooh, ooh) And you're ready to rumble And roll like a runaway train (Ooh, ooh) [Verse 3] In a heart, there are windows and doors You can let the light in You can feel the wind blow When there's nothing to lose And nothing to gain Grab a hold of that fistful of rain [Chorus] Grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Ooh) Grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Ooh-ooh) Grab a hold of that fistful of rain Grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Ooh) Grab a hold (Grab a hold), grab a hold (Ooh-ooh) Grab a hold (Fistful of rain) [Outro] Grab a hold, grab a hold, grab a hold of that fistful of rain Grab a hold, grab a hold, grab a hold of that fistful of rain Grab a hold, grab a hold, grab a hold of that fistful of rain
