Lyrics

Rain's Gonna Come

You keep your shades pulled down to block out the sky
Thunderheads hang heavy with the things you won't let yourself feel
You stay inside the quiet that you borrow, that you steal
You don't wanna be swept away
The docking lines that hold you aren't that strong
You're so afraid
You've been standing underneath the clouds too long

But the rain's gonna come
The rain's gonna come
The rain's gonna come down

I sit across the table, search your eyes and try to find the need that's cracking dry behind the fear
Try to tell you that I'll be here
And you're gonna be swept away
To that place you never thought you would belong
Don't be afraid
My love is gonna prove you wrong

And the rain's gonna come
The rain's gonna come
The rain's gonna come down

And you're gonna be swept away
To that place you never thought you would belong
Don't be afraid
My love is gonna prove you wrong
I'm gonna prove you wrong

And the rain's gonna come
The rain's gonna come
The rain's gonna come
Down down down down
