Lyrics
THE RAIN MUST FALL
You?re walking on air, not a care in the world
The breeze is blowing your way
You sway and you swoon and you?re over the moon
It?s a gem of a day
Suddenly you can?t find the key
You feel the slam of the door
Threatening skies are shading your eyes
There?s nothing there any more
Baby don?t you know that the rain must fall
Every now and then it?s going to happen to us all
Now you?re miles underground
The sound of your blood tears the silence apart
Like butterfly wings all broken and torn
Your dream has broken your heart
Gradually your fear slips away
Your mind adjusts to the dark
Monsters you made are kittens mislaid
The pit turns into a park
Baby don?t you know that the rain must fall
Every now and then it?s going to happen to us all
Now you know you need the dark to find the light inside of you
And you need to know the cold to know what human warmth can do
And you know you?ll never grow without the pain you?re going through
?Cause every living being needs a little bit of rain?
Baby don?t you know that the rain must fall
Every now and then it?s going to happen to us all
Baby don?t you know that the rain must fall
Every now and then it?s going to happen to us all
