Lyrics

It rains and rains here
We pray for rainlight
Falling, flashing flood

It's rained for ages
The pages running
Turning too fast in my hands

Making a mountain
Into the whole range
Climbing, not rising

Making the most of
A good situation
Living like there's no today

Come raining, shining
My love, it won't wait
It's raining in the night
It's raining in the sun
It's raining in your eyes
It's hounding me, all the rain
and rain

Come raining, shining
My love, it won't wait
It's raining in the night
It's raining in the sun
It's raining in your smile
You're asking me to light
the rain

Come on the dusty star
Come on the silver sea
Come on the winded stone
To raise you

Come on the rattled tail
Come on the bowing back
Come on the hanging heart
To raise you

It rains and rains here
We pray for rainlight
Falling, flashing flood

It's rained for ages
The pages running
Turning too fast in my hands
