About The Rain
Words and Music by Ron Pope

I woke up in a sleepy airport bar all by myself,
And the waitress stared and asked me, "May I get you something else?"
So I thought for a moment, and before I grabbed my bags,
I said, "I'll have one more whiskey; then one more after that."

On the plane to Baltimore, I met a red haired girl,
Who's brother works in futures; what that means, I am not sure.
I could've sworn I saw myself in her haunted sea green eyes,
When we landed, I stood up and smiled, then we both said goodbye.

All I know about the rain, I learned from keeping dry,
The hardest part of loving you, is that you were never mine.

On the cab ride back to my hotel, I lost the afternoon,
And watched the clouds roll endlessly; my thoughts returned to you.
I wonder if you sleep well in that bed which you have made,
Or if at night your dreams return to the one you sent away.

All I know about the rain, I learned from keeping dry,
The hardest part of loving you, is that you were never mine.

And the loneliness that's tortured me, each moment of my life,
Has turned the boy who saw it all, into a man that's blind.
If truth is not the answer, I will pay my debts in blood,
In surrendering all that I have, I'll prove I'm not enough.

All I know about the rain, I learned from keeping dry,
The hardest part of loving you, is that you were never mine.
All I know about the rain, I learned from keeping dry,
The hardest part of loving you, is that you were never mine.

Great song as always Ron!

Suggestion - Buy a "Blue Yeti" Microphone, About $90 on amazon its THX cerfified USB mic and a must for acoustic singer/songwriter stuff like this! Bargain and will improve the audio ten fold! You deserve to be heard in all your glory :)

@CitiesAndColours I just feel like the more involved the recording of these videos becomes, the less likely I'll be to do them. ha As it is I can barely turn on my computer.

Wow... "all I know about the rain I learned from keeping dry, the hardest part of loving you is that you were never mine." That line stopped me in my tracks, so true for my life it's almost eerie.

Thanks for ruining the rest of music for me. Everything else just sounds like rubbish in comparison now.

Plzzzzzzz get this song to iTunes quick! It's amazing.

Ron I can't even begin to tell you how much I relate to so many of your songs. And at this point in my life this song especially rings true. You are without a doubt my favorite singer song writer out there right now. Keep doing what you're doing. It's magic. I hate that I missed your tour when you were in Urbana Illinois.

Ron Pope, I might be in love with you.
