Verse
Dm D
Slowly crawling 'cross the floor
Bm
Comes a shadow through the window
A D
From the house next door and the dust specks dancing
Bm D A
In the last of the light one more evening passing
Dbm D
She walked on tiptoes on a gravel bar
Bm A
Wet skin pale as the evening star
D A Bm
The North Platte winding like a silver eel
G D
Hands like rain on August fields
D A Bm G D A
Hands like rain falling soft to ease the drought inside
G D A Bm G D G D
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain
Verse

Now I stand on stiff legs and I clutch the cane

And I search the sky for a sign of rain
D A Bm D
As if it matters as if it makes a damn
A
just an old man's habit
D G D
Down the street the schoolboys play
Bm A
Dime novel heroes from another day

Who now are nothing more than faceless names

And a nameless face with hands like rain

Hands like rain falling soft to ease the drought inside

We'd run by night and we'd hide by day
A
so the papers used to say
D A G D A
On stolen horses and borrowed time dancing girls and brandy wine

Life and legend are an awkward pair
Bm Em A
And there ain't much magic anywhere

Except in moments we can't often steal

Hands like rain on August fields

Hands like rain falling soft to ease the drought inside

As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain
