Saint Of Circumstance (Live in Springfield, MA, September 3, 1980) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This must be heaven
Last station on the line
You must be the angel
I thought I might never find
Was it you I heard singing
Oh while I was chasing dreams?
Driven by the wind
Like the dust that blows around

[Chorus]
And the rain fallin' down now
Where I never know now
Just don't ever know, no no

[Verse 2]
Got to be heaven
'Cause here's where the rainbow ends
Well, lost is the real thing
We're close enough to pretend
But when that wind blows
When the night's about to fall
I can hear the sirens call
It's a certain sort of sound

[Chorus]
When the rain fallin' down now
Rain fallin' down
[Bridge]
Holes in what's left of my reason
Holes in the knees of my blues
Odds against me been increasin'
But I'll pull through

Never could read no road map
No, I don't know what the weather might do
Hear that witch wind whinin'
See that dog star shinin'
I've got a feelin' there's no time to lose
No time to lose

Well, I never know now
Just don't know

[Verse 3]
Well, it's been heaven
But even rainbows will end
Now my sails are fillin'
And the wind is willin'
And I'm as good as gone again
I'm still walkin', so I'm sure that I can dance
Just a Saint of Circumstance
Just a tiger in a trance
In the rain fallin' down now
[Chorus]
Rain fallin' down
Rain fallin' down now
Rain fallin' down (Rain fallin' down)
Rain fallin' down (Rain fallin' down)
Rain fallin' down (Rain fallin' down)
Rain fallin' down

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Well, I never know, never know, no, no
No, I never, never know
Wait a minute
I sure don't know what I'm going for (I never know)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
('Cause I always do)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Of course I never know, no, no)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(Na na na, that's for sure now)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Some folks going on a dream now, yeah)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(Some folks is going on a feeling)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Never know, I never, never know now)
But I'm going to go for it for sure
(I know that's for sure now, ah)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(Na na, that's for sure now)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Maybe going on a dream now)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(Maybe going on a feeling, maybe going on a feeling)
