Peter Mulvey - Wings of the Ragman lyrics

It's raining down roses on the stop where you stand As you wait for the morning train The woman beside you, her shoulders are smoking Her eyes are filling with flame And it's nothing new, happens each day Everyone turns away And back on the platform, the wings of the ragman Are stretching and shaking and shining, shining like rain The street that you live on is brush strokes on canvas You'd see it if you turned around The sky fell last wednesday and broke into pieces And every shard made a sound But it's nothing new, happenbs each day And everyone turns away It's the clock in your kitchen, it's the faces of children It's the rising, the falling, the lost, the lost and the found And it's all around you now It's all around you now It's all around you now Still you don't see Still you don't see The boy on the porch swing, he left glowing footprints On the sidewalk as he pased by Oh, you can't see it, I know you can't see it And back then, neither could I But it's nothing new, happens each day And everyone turns away And back in your old yard, the tree from your childhood Is thinking about you, and shivers a sigh And it's all around you now It's all around you now It's all around you now Still you don't see Still you don't see
