Watering Flowers in the Rain by Todd Snider Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a time I when was working with Elvis
Nobody ever believes a word I tell 'em, but it's true
Everywhere that he went
Well, I went too
He always knew
What to do
'Til he overdid it

[Chorus]
Watering flowers in the pouring rain
Pouring over memories to an old refrain
On the head of a pin in a hurricane

[Verse 2]
We started falling out of each others' lives when
His wife left him and then mine left me too
I've always tried not to talk so much
But I still do
The next thing I knew
I was working in a new band and
[Chorus]
Watering flowers in the pouring rain
Pouring over memories to an old refrain
On the head of a pin in a hurricane

[Outro]
There was a time I when was working with Elvis
Nobody ever believes a word I tell 'em, but it's true
