Rain King (Vh1 Storytellers Version)

When I think of heaven

Deliver me in a black-winged bird

I think of flying

Down into a sea of pens and feathers

And all other instruments of faith and sex and God

In the belly of a black-winged bird

Don't try to feed me

'cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen

I belong anywhere but in between

She's been crying , and I've been thinking

And I am the Rain King

Well I said

Mama, mama, , why am I so alone?

I can't go outside

‘Cause I'm scared I might not make it home

I'm alive, I’m alive

But I'm sinking in

If there's anyone at home at your place darlin'

Please invite me in

Don't try to bleed me

‘Cause I've been there before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen

I belong anywhere but in between

She's been lying

I just keep sinking

And I am the Rain King

Hey, I only want the same as anyone

Mr Henderson just keeps waiting for the sun

Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends

And ends and begins and ends

After all the dreaming I just wanna come back home again...

I Said well every little bit of sister says you’re going sinking

Down well under ground

And every little thing she does to me

Is beautiful

And I said every little bit of fun and loneliness

Well, every little thing that endlessly confuses me

But I said when I think of heaven

Mmm said when I think of heaven

Mmmm When I think of heaven

I think of you

Do you think of heaven

And I said when I think of heaven

Deliver me in a black winged bird

Oh, come on

I think of dying

Lay me down in a field of flame and heather

Surrender up my body into the burning heart of

God in the belly of a black-winged bird

Don't try to bleed me

'Cause I've been here before

And I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen

I belong anywhere but in between

She's been dying

And I've been drinking and I am the Rain King

Well I said that I am the rain king...

Oh I said, goodnight Elisabeth

I’m so sorry now

But I am the rain king

So why don’t you come in out of the rain?
