lyrics
River of Rain
(1st verse)
Dark clouds roll in
Like the middle of November
Darken down the landscape
Of your heart
You stand at this crossing
Trying to remember
Just how your kingdom
Fell apart
(Bridge)
You've felt the teardrops falling
You've felt the pain
Let them wash away now
Like a river of rain
Let them wash away now
Like a river of rain
(Chorus)
Can't you hear
That train in the distance?
Can't you hear
That lonesome sound?
Can't you see
Your putting up resistance?
Can't you see
Your homeward bound?
(2nd verse)
She crossed all the t's
After years, it's a work of art
She finally signed those papers
It's a brand new start
Lay down that cord
That ties you to the past
Let the train run over
And cut it right in half
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(3rd verse)
Big world gone mad
with lust and rampant greed,
Expecting endless growth
Way beyond our need.
Do we demand the same of love
But never feed the fire
Expect it to grow
Forever getting brighter
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
