The Grateful Dead
Saint of Circumstance (Live at Recreation Hall, Penn State University, May 6, 1980)
[Verse 1]
Well, this must be heaven
Tonight I cross the line
You must be the angel
I thought I might never find
Was it you I heard singing
While I was chasing dreams?
Driven by the wind
Like the dust that blows around

[Chorus]
The rain fallin' down now
But I never know now
No, I never know, no, no

[Verse 2]
Yes, this is heaven
'Cause here's where the rainbow ends
At last it's the real thing
Well, close enough to pretend
But when that wind blows
When the night's about to fall
I can hear the sirens call
It's a certain sort of sound

[Chorus]
When the rain fallin' down now
Rain fallin' down
Rain fallin' down
[Bridge]
Holes in what's left of my reason
Holes in the knees of my blues
Odds against me been increasin'
But I'll pull through

I never could read no road map
No, I don't know what the weather might do
But hear that witch wind whinin'
See that dog star shinin'
I've got a feelin' there's no time to lose
No time to lose

I never know now
Just don't ever know, no, no

[Verse 3]
Well, it's been heaven
But even rainbows will end
Now my sails are fillin'
And the wind is willin'
That I'm as good as gone again
I'm still walkin', so I'm sure that I can dance
Just a Saint of Circumstance
Just a tiger in a trance
In the rain fallin' down now
[Chorus]
Rain fallin' down
The rain fallin' down
Rain fallin' down now
Rain fallin' down
Rain fallin' down

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
And never know now
No, I never, never know, no, no
Well, I sure don't know what I'm going for
(No, I never know)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(It's for sure now)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Never know, I never, never know, no)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(That's for sure now)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Well, I never, never know, no)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(That's for sure now)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Don't ever, never, never know, no, no)
But I'm going to go for it for sure
(Hey, for sure now)
Hey, I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Maybe going on a dream now, yeah)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(Maybe going on a feeling)
I sure don't know what I'm going for
(Never, never know, no, no, no)
But I'm gonna go for it for sure
(Maybe going on a feeling, maybe going on a feeling)
We're gonna take a short break. We'll be back in just a few minutes, so everybody hang loose
