David Byrne - Every Drop Of Rain Lyrics



David Byrne - Every Drop Of Rain Lyrics




[Vocals by Candie Payne & St. Vincent]

[Estrella:]
I was just a young girl
A girl with curly hair
Your mother called me family
I became quite close to her

I handled all the money
Washed the clothes and made the meals
In the night she'd wake up screaming
So you children slept with me

[Estrella & Imelda:]
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you're poor-it's like you're naked
And every drop of rain you feel

[Estrella:]
When it rained we slept on boxes
There was water all around

[Imelda:]
But the people in the big house
Never bothered to find out
No clothes, no bed, no jewelry
Sometimes I had no shoes

[Estrella:]
A typhoon came-the house collapsed
And the neighbors passed us food

[Estrella & Imelda:]
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you're poor-it's like you're naked
And every drop of rain you feel

Every little tiny drop of rain you feel-every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel-every drop of rain

[Estrella:]
I handled our finances
I myself was never paid

[Imelda:]
My teachers paid a visit
I felt, felt so ashamed

But I had kept my dignity
Some things cannot be killed

I smiled and kept my head up
A Romualdez I was still

[Estrella & Imelda:]
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel-every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel-every drop of rain
