Rocky Votolato She Was Only In It For The Rain lyrics

She swore out the lights when she said
That she was only in it for the rain
She made of her bed a naive nativity
Just in case it became, just in case

Here's the first of many songs you wanted
Me to write just for you
I hope to God you like it
It's as pretty as it is cruel
It's as pretty as it is cruel

She swore out the lights
When she dammed herself to sleep
Her thirteenth finger, my whiskey drink
And she wept at the scene as the ambulance drove off

Come circumference, come circumstance

Here's the first of many songs you wanted
Me to write just for you
I hope to god you like it
And it may seem pretty cruel
But mercy is not my name

And our kids, I hope to God you counted them
You're as pretty as you are cruel
You're as pretty as you are cruel
You're as pretty as you are cruel
