lyrics

The Rain

The day’s overcast, it’s just like the last
And the winter is seeping in slow
There’s something inside keeps a telling her she’s got to go
She ain’t gonna hide when she’s walking outside
And the wind starts its dancing again
Oh why should she fight
It’s just right for her day in the rain

Remembers a park in the drizzling dark
Where some wonderful stories were told
Hey under that isle they once buried a treasure of gold
And maybe some day when the sky ain’t so grey
We’ll go down to see what we can gain
With thoughts of the find on their minds
They walked home in the rain

(Chorus)
And the rain o fills me with beautiful pain o
Never leaves nothing the same o
Colouring all that I do
Can you say why it doesn’t matter how I try
When it falls down I know I’ll fly
To find that there’s something that’s true

The people she meets when she’s walking the streets
Are all trying to get out of there fast
They don’t like the rain and they’re hoping it’s not gonna last
Umbrellas held high and the look in their eye
Says that girl’s looking pretty dragged down
She ponders their loss as she crosses the street into town

She thinks of that time she was hoping so blind
For a saviour to come to her side
O mama I say he’ll come back and you know I don’t lie
I never never lie
Then came the day when they took him away
And she knew she would go it alone
And the rain falling down on the window was cold as a stone

(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
