Lyrics
[Verse 1] I woke up with your name On my tongue like smoke Cold cup on the table And a shirt still on the chair Your old red scarf Still caught in the door I said I’d move on clean But I can’t quite get there [Pre-Chorus] Then the alley went quiet And the wind got low I heard your laugh In the screen door moan My heart stayed patient My feet stayed slow I keep circlin’ back To the place I know [Chorus] South Side rain, South Side rain (oh, South Side rain) Wash my hurt Wash it again South Side rain, South Side rain (oh, South Side rain) I’m still yours In that sweet old pain [Verse 2] There’s a crack in the sidewalk By the corner light Where we traded secrets Till the edge of night Now the bus rolls past And I let it go But your shadow stays In the window glow [Pre-Chorus] Then the alley went quiet And the wind got low I heard your laugh In the screen door moan My heart stayed patient My feet stayed slow I keep circlin’ back To the place I know [Chorus] South Side rain, South Side rain (oh, South Side rain) Wash my hurt Wash it again South Side rain, South Side rain (oh, South Side rain) I’m still yours In that sweet old pain [Bridge] Maybe time gets kinder Maybe time gets mean But it don’t change the hands That are callin’ me If you ever come by When the night runs thin I’ll be right here waitin’ At the edge I’m in [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] South Side rain, South Side rain (oh, South Side rain) Wash my hurt Wash it again South Side rain, South Side rain (oh, South Side rain) I’m still yours In that sweet old pain South Side rain, South Side rain (oh, South Side rain) Hold me close Till I sleep again
