Lyrics
The Rain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just before the rain came down
The sun came out at last
And as for all assumptions made
Questions never asked
I know we're not where I promised you we'd be by now
But maybe it's a question of who'd want it anyhow
Even now the rainbow's end seems closer to your hand
And is it knowing when to stop the measure of the man
Ok we're not what I promised you we would become
But maybe it's a question of how much you'd really want
Have you had enough?
Had enough?
There's plenty more where that came from now
Are you feeling bought?
Swallowed up?
We got hours on you now
Just before the rain came down
The sun came out at last
And as for all assumptions made
Questions never asked
Ok I'm not what I promised you I would become
I know we're not what I promised you we'd be by now
Have you had enough?
Had enough?
There's plenty more where that came from now
You feeling bought?
Swallowed up?
We got hours on you now
You still on top?
Still crawling up?
We got hours on you now
