Up above my shoulder the ragged rooftops rise
   casting shadows over streets they seem to despise
   (Chorus:) come on, come on, wind and rain
   i know the sun will shine again
   till then my lady and my Lord will keep me sane
  
   i went down to the dead lake shore to see what i could see
   along the breeze came, away my cap went, my head it was set free
  
   (chorus)
  
   and i hear a far away tune come drifting through the gray
   it clears a path before my feet, it makes my fingers play
  
   (chorus)
  
   (Chorus:) come on, come on, soot and storm
   i know the sun will break your arm
   till then my lady and my Lord will keep me warm.
