One of Terry Taylor’s most cryptic lyrics, “Eleanor, It’s Raining Now” combines the story of Adam and Eve with imagery from a modern-day marriage to tell a story that is at once mythological and quotidian, eschatological and ordinary.
[Verse 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
Long time ago
You left a track of flame across my floor
Long time ago
The form of God was knocking at our door
[Chorus 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
And in the sky, fire
Eleanor, it's raining now
We walked a thin wire
Eleanor, it's raining now
[Verse 2: Terry Scott Taylor]
Long time ago
We wrapped another ring around the moon
Long time ago
We named the world and watched it break in two
[Chorus 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
And in the sky, fire
Eleanor, it's raining now
We walked a thin wire
Eleanor, it's raining
[Bridge: Derri Daugherty]
In the folds of the dress on the chair
I can see your face
I am the cross and the nail you bear
You are my curse and saving grace
[Verse 3: Terry Scott Taylor]
Long time ago
God whispered words and names we can't recall
Long time ago
We hid our shame outside the garden wall
[Chorus 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
And in the sky, fire
Eleanor, it's raining now
We walked a thin wire
Eleanor, it's raining
[Chorus 2: Terry Scott Taylor]
And it's a cruel winter
Eleanor, it's raining now
On the last sinner
Eleanor, it's raining
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro: Spoken: Michael Roe]
--can't even do something that's so simple.
[Gene Eugene]
Well, it's the first thing on the album.
[Derri Daugherty]
It works.
[Eugene and Roe]
You rolling?
[Intro: "Li'l Red Riding Hood"]
Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want
Aw-woooooo!
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
'Til I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walkin' with you alone
Aw-woooooo!
I mean baaaaaa
I mean baaaaaa
Baaaaaa
Baaaaaa
Baaaaaa
[Eugene]
That's enough! Let's go hear it.
