The Grateful Dead - Mission in the Rain
I turn and walk away then I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same
I must turn down your offer, but I'd like to ask a break
You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take
Someone called my name, you know I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me
★ Chorus ★
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
★ Verse 2 ★
Ten years ago, I walked this street, my dreams were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful, Lord, for any dream at all
Some folks would be happy just to have one drеam come true
But evеrything you gather is just more that you can lose
★ Chorus ★
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Verse 3 ★
All the things I planned to do I only did halfway
Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday
There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
No matter what comes down, the Mission always looks the same
★ Outro ★
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again
★ Instrumental ★

Biography
Over the years the Dead released 22 recorded albums, although they were most famous for their improvisational jams at concerts, earning them a cult-like following of self-proclaimed “Dead Heads” who would follow the band from concert-to-concert throughout the band’s career.
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and they’ve sold more than 40 million albums in total; all that with only one top 40 hit (“Truckin”), and one Top 10 hit (“Touch of Grey”) that came near the end of the band’s run, shortly before Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. Grateful Dead was also ranked 57th in Rolling Stone’s “The Greatest Artists of All Time” issue in 2004 and 2005. Since then, various incarnations of the Dead have continued to tour, although a 2015 farewell tour was said to be the band’s last.
In 2015 Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann started a new group called Dead and Company with John Mayer, Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge, and former Dead keyboardist Jeff Chimenti which Weir has said may have a future in the studio and will continue to tour in coming years.
In 2008, The Grateful Dead named the University of California, Santa Cruz McHenry Library as the home of their complete archival history, including their recorded music, live bootlegs, and artworks. The collections are are now housed at UC Santa Cruz.
