Janis Ian - Take Me Walking in the Rain lyrics

This town isn't big enough for my dreams
This place is just about to
Break at the seams baby baby, you and I
With just a little bigger piece of the sky
Big hopes, big dreams
Baby, can you set me free?

Take me walking in the rain
Let me be a child again
Let it wipe away the tears
Wash away the years
Take me walking in the rain
Take me right here in the sand
Let me feel your heart on mine
Life'll never be the same
Take me walking in the rain

This life may be good enough for the rest
But this heart is just about
To break through my chest
I remember every rule I've heard
And I'm strangling on every word
I can't say they're wrong
But baby how can I go on?

Take me walking in the rain
Take me dancing in the waves, baby
Let 'em wipe away the tears
Wash away the years
Take me walking in the rain
Take me right here where I stand
Let me feel your heart on mine
I will never be the same
We've got everything to gain
Take me walking in the rain

Baby baby, you and I
With just a little bigger piece of the sky
Hold on, hold tight
I don't wanna waste this night

Take me walking in the rain
Let me see your face again
Try to wash away the tears
Wipe away the years
Take me walking in the rain
Take me right here in the sand
Let me feel your heart in mine
I don't want somebody new
I just want the rest of you
Take me walking in the rain
I don't want somebody new
I just want the rest of you
Take me walking in the rain
Take me right here in the sand
Life ain't what we plan
Take me walking in the rain

Take me walking in the rain
Let me see your face again, baby
Take me walking in the rain
Take me walking in the rain
Life ain't nothing like we planned
Take me right here in the sand
