It Seems You Only Love Me When It Rains — текст песни (Harry Chapin)

Just after I screamed at you--
What the hell is it all about
You spilled your coffee
Onto my sleeve
And you said
Don`t expect the tears
To come from me babe
For I`ve already grieved

But that`s when you let me
Back into your dream

And I know you`re frightened
By my laughter
But you`re not afraid
To hold my pain
You see I`m never sure
Just what you`re after, Babe
But it seems you only love me
When it rains

You never treat me
Like you treat a gentle man
You only hit me
When you know it hurts
But then why bother reaching down
To where I`m battered
To raise me up
>From the dirt

But that`s when you let me
Back into your dream

And I know you`re frightened
By my laughter
But you`re not afraid
To hold my pain
You see I`m never sure
Just what you`re after, Babe
But it seems you only love me
When it rains

Yes I have sworn
To myself to stay protected
So I have strapped on
A sword and shield
But my armour
Yes it ends up meltin`
When you come along tumblin`
Across the field
Once again I yield, I yield

Yes you get me crazy
`Cause you never even wear my presents babe
You wear flowers tucked into your hair
But when I`m cursin` in the night
In my frustration
That`s when suddenly you are there

Once again that`s when you let me
Back into your dream

And I know you`re frightened
By my laughter
But you`re not afraid
To hold my pain
You see I`m never sure
Just what you`re after, Babe
But it seems you only love me
When it rains

How come you only love me when it rains
