Melissa Etheridge - An Unexpected Rain (Live From Topeka Correctional Facility) Lyrics

First time I saw you back in 1982
An LA bar, I've come so far
In my Kansas dancin' shoes
I'm just a singer and I'm lookin for a song
Do you want to sing along?
Two Greyhounds later and I'm feelin alright
I've got to have you and it must be tonight
C'mon back to my place
Well, it's really just a room
But I'll be making some money soon

Goodbye and thank you
Oh, my number, yeah, please phone
Two or three weekends on the 405 alone
You say, "Come on and stay and when you sing down at the bar
It will not be so far"

And I tried to do my best
I never meant to hurt no one
I was waitin' for my break
That I knew one day would come
And I plug in my guitar
And I look out across the room
And I dig into my heart
And I try to sing the truth
And I know I did my best
I never meant to hurt no one

As I recall back in 1982
I never said goodbye or why
I just left a note for you
Then one night I saw you
Across the road, across the dark
A shameful spear into my heart

Your look was haunting, an unexpected pain
I am so sorry for the unexpected rain
The sadness that you kissed
The fresh scars on you wrist
I can't make it go away
And I tried to do my best
I never meant to hurt no one
I was waitin' for my break
That I knew one day would come
And I plug in my guitar
And I look out across the room
And I dig into my heart
And I would try to sing the truth
And I know I did my best
I never meant to hurt no one, no one, no one

Good night, ladies
Good night, I'm gonna leave you now
Good night, ladies
Good night, I'm gonna leave you now, gonna leave you now
Good night, ladies
Good night, gonna leave ya, gonna leave you now
Good night, ladies
Good night, gonna leave you now
Good night, ladies
Good night
Sleep tight
