Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, how this dream has gone
It's taken flight with the wings I've worn
The candlelight has died before the dawn
[Verse 2]
I came here across the sea
I had a fate that was owed to me
I didn't know what I was looking for
[Verse 3]
Now the rain is coming down
Now the rain is coming down
[Verse 4]
Since then my eyes have changed
My points of view are rearranged
The dreams I had have been left along the way
[Verse 5]
Now the rain is coming down
Now the rain is coming down
[Verse 6]
If you sow the rain, you will harvest the storm
But our hearts were half formed and roaring for past thorns
The rain fell, we couldn't make it stop
We were acting like these people we were not
It was meant to be perfection, I could see it
A reflection of everything I've learned, cards played, hands shaking
But until you've lost your nerve, felt the road swerve out from beneath
You can't feel the peace of feeling stationed
I found you after a lifetime of searching
But after the lifeline is caught comes the working
Till it's gone wrong it can never go right
Till you've been blind, you can't recognize sight
You can't fight the rain
Better get to like the rain
Clear skies right now
But tonight the rain will fall down
Drink the rain, grow tall a flinch and drink away
You'll fall pray to the water
[Verse 7]
I should've checked the cards before I played
I should've known that I could still be saved
What kind of game is this to be gamblin' with my happiness?
[Verse 8]
Now the rain is coming down
Now the rain is coming down
Now the rain is coming down
Now the rain is coming down
