I Wasn't Ready For The Sunshine
I wasn't ready for the sunshine, I was still strung out on the rain
I wasn't ready for the sunshine, I was still strung out on the rain
The court of fools they asked me to come sing for them
With beer and a slice of pizza I'd be paid
But when I started they turned up the houselights
And just cheered for songs that I could not play
I wasn't ready for the sunshine, I was still strung out on the rain
I wasn't ready for the sunshine, I was still strung out on the rain
She took my coins and cast them on the spinning wheel
For a chance of fame and fortune all life long
But my numbers came up empty, Guess I'll leave this place
Let some other fool finish off the song
I wasn't ready for the sunshine, I was still strung out on the rain
I wasn't ready for the sunshine, I was still strung out on the rain

From February 1972
My performance of this was always upbeat and rythmic; in the folkrock tradition.
