Counting Crows Lyrics
"Rain King"

When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying
Down into a sea of pens and feathers and
All other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to feed me
I've been here before,
And I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She been crying,
I been thinking yeah
And I am the Rain King

Well I said Mama Mama Mama
Why Am I so alone?
I can't go outside,
Because I am scared that I might not make it home
I'm alive
Just sinking in
Is anyone home at your place?
Please invite me in
Don't try to bleed me
Cuz look, I been there before
And I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She been lying
Ohhh oh I been sinking
And I am the Rain King

Hey I only want the same as anyone
Mr Henderson's waiting for the sun
All it seems all it seems night endlessly begins and end and ends and ends and ends
After all my dreaming I just want to come back home again

Slip away
Slip away now now my darling
Come on down on me
Slip away, I can feel it
I can feel it all; I can feel it all slip away
From me
Come on down come on down
Sing a song for me darling
I can feel it all slip away
From me
Come on down come on down
And sing a song for me darling
Uhm ah
I can feel it all
I want to feel it all I want to feel it all I want to feel it all slip away

Come on say la la la la
Come on say la la la la
Come on say la la la la
I don't want to feel it slip away

So come on say la la la la
Come on say la la la la
Come on say la la la
I don't want to feel it slip away

Come on say la la la la
La la la la
La la la la
I don't want to feel it slip away

So come on say la la la la
La la la
I don't want to I don't want to I don't want to I don't want to I don't want to
Feel it slipping away

When I, when I think of heaven
When I think of heaven yeah
When I think of heaven
God girl you know I just think of you
Do you think of me too?

I said when I think of heaven
Come on deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of dying
Come on lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my my my my my body
In to the burning heart of God
Oh the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to bleed me
Cuz I have been here before
And I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She been dying
I've been drinking now
And I am the Rain King
I said that I am the Rain King
Come on down, oh, sing a song for me darling
I don't want to feel it slip away
But I am the Rain King
So why don't you come in out of the rain?
