Nanci Griffith - "I Wish It Would Rain" Live, 1988
The joy on Nanci's face here contrasts nicely with the overcast words -- some of the finest she's ever written: "I want to find that love of 22 here at 33"
Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
Who only cared for me
I wanna find that love of twenty-two
Here at thirty-three
I've got a heart on my right
One on my left neither suits my needs
No, the one I love lives a-way out West
And he never will need me
I'm gonna pack up my two step shoes
And head for the Gulf Coast plains
I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown
Where everybody knows my name
I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston
When the hurricane blow in
Cuz that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your heart's rollin' home in the wind
When the diamonds fall, darlin'
They burn like tears

Nanci Griffith - "Wooden Heart" Live
Notice Nanci's fragile beauty -- she sings "please don't break my heart in two" and you really believe her.
"Wooden Heart (Muss I Denn)" is featured in the 1960 Elvis Presley film G.I. Blues. Nanci recorded the song for the 1990 album The Last Temptation of Elvis, an album of cover versions of Elvis Presley movie songs.
Nanci's father is signing with the quartet of back-up singers (far left) although their microphone seems to be turned off for the entire performance.
"Wooden Heart", created by Fred Wise, Ben Weisman, Kay Twomey and German bandleader Bert Kaempfert, was based on a German folk song, "Muß i' denn zum Städtele hinaus". "Wooden Heart" features several lines from the original folk song, written in the German dialect Swabian.
Length: 147
Rating: 4.70 (50 ratings)
