I'll Take the Rain

The rain came down

The rain came down

The rain came down on me

The wind blew strong

And summer's song

Fades to memory

I knew you when

I loved you then

In 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

This winter's song

I'll sing along

I've searched its still refrain

I'll walk alone

If given this, take wing

Celebrate the rain

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

I'll take the rain

I'll take the rain

I'll take the rain

I'll take the rain

I'll take the rain
