the rain came down
the rain came down
the rain came down on me.

the wind blew strong

the summer song
fades to memory

I knew you when
I loved you then
the summer´s young and helpless.

you laid me bare
you marked me there
the promises we made.

I used to think
as birds take wing
they sing through life so why can´t we?
if you cling to this
and claim your best
if this is what you´re offering
I´ll take the rain

I´ll take the rain

the nighttime creases
summer schemes
and stretches out to stay.
the sun shines down
you came around
you love easy days.

but now the sun,
the winter´s come.
I wanted just to say
that if I hold
I´d hope you´d fold
open up inside, inside of me.

I used to think

as birds take wing
they sing through life so why can´t we?
if you cling to this
and claim your best
If this is what you´re offering
I´ll take the rain
I´ll take the rain

this winter song
I´ll sing along
I´ve searched its still refrain
I´ll walk alone
I´ve given this, take wing
celebrate the rain.

I used to think
as birds take wing

they sing through life so why can´t we?
if you cling to this
and claim your best
If this is what you´re offering
I´ll take the rain
I´ll take the rain
I´ll take the rain.
