Raining In Baltimore



Words & Music by Steve Bowman, David Bryson, Adam Duritz, Charlie Gillingham, Dave Immergluck, Matt Malley

As performed by Allison Crowe



The circus is falling down on its knees

Big top is crumbling down

It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east

Where you should be, no one's around

I need a phone call

I need a raincoat

I need a big love

I need a rain coat 



These train conversations are passing me by

And I don't have nothing to say

You get what you paid for

But I just had no intention of living this way

I need a phone call

I need a plane ride

I need a sunburn

I need a raincoat 



And I get no answers

And I don't get no change

It's raining in Baltimore, baby

But everything else is the same 



There's things I remember, there's things I forget

I miss you I guess that I should

Three-thousand five-hundred miles away

And what would you change if you could? 



I need a phone call, maybe I should buy a new car

I can always hear a freight train, baby, if I listen real hard

And I wish, I wish it was a small world

'cause I'm lonely for the big towns

I'd like to hear a little guitar

I guess it's time to put the top down

I need a phone call

I need a raincoat

I really need a raincoat

I really, really need a rain coat

I really, really, really need a rain coat

I really need a raincoat
