Lyrics
GENTLE IS THE RAIN
(by John Harvill and Robert Mitchell, all rights reserved )
Gentle is the rain
I know I'm not insane
I would not give it all
Not to just anyone at all
I'm no fool
Vir-gel at my post
I keep myself aloaf
This freedom I hold so dear
I would not danger near
I'm not you
Chorus
But then there's you , you , you, you, you
Yes there's you , you , you, you, you
If mystery is your game
Then who is there to blame
If you find that I'm not tame
Just be cool
Gar-doth of my heart
I know it be not smart
Just to let some girl
Take it for a whirl
I'm no tool
Chorus
Repeat first verse
