lyrics

THEN THE RAIN CAME
(Ian M. Bruce/Charlie Milne)

We had too much to drink.
A bit too much was said.
We said all the kinda things
That lie awake in bed.
Anxiety and alcohol messing' up our minds
Only morning sun could help us Leave it all behind.

CHORUS
Then the rain came
Teeming from above.
Drenching all our dreams.
And drowning deepest love.
Here with this depression Clouding you and I,
It's hard to believe that the sun
Will split our sky.

The forecast is gloomy.
Bitter storms ahead.
Pressure's low and mounting In this mighty double bed. Who'd believe we're lovers
This is so absurd.
Together we lie separate
For the sake of one kind word.

CHORUS

And who will break the silence?
Who's it gonna be?
It could be either one of us.
It's six and two threes.
When that word is spoken
Smiles will surely come:
Taming all this turmoil,
Anger all undone.
