So he played some sounds and grooved a while brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was goin' on in the music And things
The rain outside came down like it never before Down, down, it came, rain, rain, rain And I said, "Baby what time is it, what time is it, me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
