Counting Crows Rain king (acoustic) Lyrics

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 s__ 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, I've been thinking
And I am the Rain King

I say Mama, mama, why am I so alone?
I can't go outside
I'm scared that I might not make it home
I'm alive, but I'm sinking in
If there's anyone at home at your place
Please invite me in
Don't try to bleed me
because 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'm still been sinking
And I am the Rain King

And I only want the same as anyone
Mr. Henderson keeps waiting for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
and ends and begis and ends
After all the dreaming I just wanna come back home again...

(...)

When I, when I, when I think of heaven, hummm,
Said when I think of heaven, hummm
When I think of heaven
I think of you
Do you think of me, do you think?

Oh, When I think of heaven
(Deliver me in a black-winged bird)
I think of dying
Come on, lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render 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 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 dying
I've been drinking and I am the Rain King.

I said that I am the Rain King
Oh, I said good night
All you above
I'm so sorry now
but I am the Rain King
So why don't you come in out of the rain?
