Rainy Day, Dream Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey man, take a look out the window and see what's happening
Hey man, it's raining
It's raining outside, man
Aw, don't worry about that, baby
Think that's gonna be everything
We'll get into something real nice you know
We'll sit back and groove on a rainy day
Yeah, hmm
Yeah, I see what you mean brother
Lay back and groove
[Chorus]
Rainy day, dream away
Ah, let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe and I see the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
[Verse 2]
Well, I can see a bunch of wet creatures, look at 'em on the run
The carnival traffic noise it sinks into a splashy hum
Even the ducks can groove rain bathing in the park side pool
And I'm leaning out my windowsill digging everything
And are you too?
[Chorus]
Rainy day, rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' uptight, just let it groove its own way
Let it drain your worries away
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Lay back and dream on a rainy day
Hey man, take a look out the window and see what's happening
Hey man, it's raining
It's raining outside, man
Aw, don't worry about that, baby
Think that's gonna be everything
We'll get into something real nice you know
We'll sit back and groove on a rainy day
Yeah, hmm
Yeah, I see what you mean brother
Lay back and groove
[Chorus]
Rainy day, dream away
Ah, let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe and I see the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
[Verse 2]
Well, I can see a bunch of wet creatures, look at 'em on the run
The carnival traffic noise it sinks into a splashy hum
Even the ducks can groove rain bathing in the park side pool
And I'm leaning out my windowsill digging everything
And are you too?
[Chorus]
Rainy day, rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' uptight, just let it groove its own way
Let it drain your worries away
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Lay back and dream on a rainy day
About
Genius Annotation
Jimi Hendrix performed only one show at the two day Miami Pop Festival held May 18-19, 1968, as the second one was rained out.
This inspired the musician to write “Rainy Day, Dream Away,” which was eventually included on Electric Ladyland.
