Lyrics

The rain came down
The rain came down
The rain came down on me.
The wind blew strong
The summer’s song
Fades to memory.

I knew you when
I loved you then
The summer’s yawn, now hopeless.
You laid me bare
You marked me there
The promises we made.

I used to think, as birds take wing,
They sing through life, so why can’t we?
We cling to this, and claim the best
If this is what you’re offering
I’ll take the rain, I’ll take the rain.

The nighttime creases
Summer schemes
And stretches out to stay.
The sun shines down
You came around
You loved the easy days.

But now the sun,
The winter’s come.
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I’d hoped you’d fold And open up inside, inside of me.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life, so why can’t we?
We cling to this, and claim the best
If this is what you’re offering
I’ll take the rain, I’ll take the rain, I’ll take the rain.

This winter’s song
I’ll sing along
I’ve searched its still refrain
I’ll walk alone
If given this,
Take wing, and celebrate the rain.
