The Day The Rains Came

Your strange love was what I found
The day the rains came down
And I remember we found shelter in the cave
With the rain clouds up above
In the darkness we found love
The day the rains came I became your slave
As the rains made rivers swell I fell deeper in your spell
You took my hand and handed me a crown
If I could just live on with these things I have known
I know that I'd be glad of what I've found
As the rains made rivers swell I fell deeper in your spell
You took my hand and handed me a crown
But if I could just live on with these things I have known
I know that I'd be glad of what I''ve found
Your strange love was what I found
(fade) The day the rains came down
