about

A love song to the rain.

lyrics

when the good rains finally came we stood out under cover
watched the dry earth drink it up like a long lost lover
we opened up our senses to let it in
felt so good to feel that way again

(chorus)
if you love the water let it rain
let it wash away your pain
there are reasons to explain
if you love the water let it rain

a long time ago when the world was young
innocent life beneath the summery sun
desert flowers and the wild plantain
waiting for the weather to bring the rain

(chorus)
if you love the water let it rain
let it wash away your pain
there are reasons to explain
if you love the water let it rain

(bridge)
time is such a fleeting thing, you know it comes and it goes
it ebbs and it flows, waterfalls and rainbows

there was a time we kept ourselves apart
surrounded by the dryness in our hearts
but life is a natural mystery, they say
so I guess we'll just let nature have it's way

(chorus)
if you love the water let it rain
let it wash away your pain
there are reasons to explain
if you love the water let it rain
