Never gonna stop the rain by complaining!


I very much like this song. I remember when I was a kid watching "Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid" and my mom singing along with the song.

Does anybody know what he means by "sleeping on the job"?

From the lyric that says "I didn't like the way sun gets the things done, sleeping on the job ..." I guess it means "slowly" and "waiting till the thing matures" etc.
Anyway, pretty song, never heard it before

well, rain could be the symbol of blues, and since when the rain comes there is no sun hence "falling sleep on the job ...": Blaming the sun for our blues, that is not that much far-fetched, considering the seasonal depression:)

Yes, this makes perfect sense. Thanks.
