Lyric A Little Rain

(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)

The Ice Man s mule is parked
Outside the bar
Where a man with missing fingers
Plays a strange guitar
And the German dwarf
Dances with the butcher s son
And a little rain never hurt no one
And a little rain never hurt no one

They re dancing on the roof
And the ceiling s coming down
I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves
A little trouble makes it worth the going
And a little rain never hurt no one

The world is round
And so I ll go around
You must risk something that matters
My hands are strong
I ll take any man here
If it s worth the going
It s worth the ride

She was 15 years old
And never seen the ocean
She climbed into a van
With a vagabond
And the last thing she said
Was, "I love you mom."

And a little rain
Never hurt no one
And a little rain
Never hurt no one
