Gentle rain Here it comes again Rattling 'round your window, threatening pain Coming on like a friend, but you know better than Yesterday that held you by a different hand Hail and stone And all that's gone When everything that passes, cuts to the bone Turning like a wheel dragging a heavy stone A weight that ties you down that you will never own Strange to see, a paper smile on thee When once you moved and light the room For us all to be Now if i could be the sun i'd shine in your life If i could be the rain, i'd rain from your eyes And i'd wash away the emptiness you feel inside
