Todd Snider - Watering Flowers In The Rain Lyrics

There was a time when I was
Working with Elvis
Nobody ever believes a word
I tell them but it's true
Everywhere that he went
Well, I went too
He always knew what to do
Til he overdid it

Watering flowers
In the pouring rain
Pouring over memories
To an old refrain
On the head of a pin
In a hurricane

We started falling out of
Each others lives when
His wife left him and then
Mine left me too
I've always tried not to talk so much
But I still do
The next thing I knew I was
Working in a new band

Watering flowers
In the pouring rain
Pouring over memories
To an old refrain
On the head of a pin
In a hurricane
