Traction In The Rain Lyrics
It's hard enough, I know
To find the strength to go
Back to where it all began
It's hard to enough to gain
Any traction in the rain
You know it's hard for me to understand
Hard to find a way
To get through another city day
Without thinking about
Gettin' out
Now the strangest thing I've seen
Was a t-shirt turning green
In envy of turtle dove
The dove's lady was the cause
Or maybe it was the olive branch she held in her claws
Or maybe he could see they were in love
You know it's hard for me to find a way
To get through another city day
Without thinking about
Gettin' out
To find the strength to go
Back to where it all began
It's hard to enough to gain
Any traction in the rain
You know it's hard for me to understand
To get through another city day
Without thinking about
Gettin' out
Was a t-shirt turning green
In envy of turtle dove
The dove's lady was the cause
Or maybe it was the olive branch she held in her claws
Or maybe he could see they were in love
To get through another city day
Without thinking about
Gettin' out

Did you know that “Crozier” means cross bearer. Interesting slip!
I have listened to “if only I could remember my name” constantly for the past 50 years and rate it as in my top 3 albums. Regarding this song traction in the rain, I remember reading that the second verse is about David and possibly Joni or Christine and others walking in a park probably looking cool and stoned in their hippie attire and we’re harassed by someone who took offence to their presence. The T-shirt turning green was in Envy of the Turtle dove holding an olive branch in its claws . Dove and olive branch signifying peace and the fact that the women appeared so beautiful made this person green with envy. I think the first verse is self explanatory David was in the city he was in Laurel canyon or sailing somewhere. Thankfully The Crozier left his music for us to share eternally.✌????
