Dinner With Ivan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I took dinner at seven. With a tablecloth and wine.
And my poor brother Ivan. Who could laugh but
couldn't smile.
Stories filled the evening. Of his job and of his wife.
How they somehow cheated him. How they
took his life.
Welcome to the wild world brother.
Sometimes it's gonna rain on you.
It rains all over the world, brother.
Sometime's it's gonna rain on you.
The evening went on and on.
But was it time to say goodbye. To all the
big decisions
And dirty dishes in his life. Take some money
Out of your savings brother, have yourself a good time.
But ain't he just too lazy, to wipe the tears
from his eyes.
Welcome to the wild world brother.
Sometimes it's gonna rain on you.
It rains all over the world, brother.
Sometime's it's gonna rain on you.
The evening went on and on.
but was it time to say goodbye. To all the big decisions
And dirty dishes in his life. Get in my car, brother.
Turn the key and take a drive.
But ain't I just too lazy, to wipe the tears
from my eyes.
Welcome to the wild world brother.
Sometimes it's gonna rain on you.
It rains all over the world, brother.
Sometime's it's gonna rain on you.
