Lyrics
©2000 Words and Music by Laurie and Rick Williams
Verse: WHAT IS A LOVER AND WHAT IS A FRIEND
WHERE DOES ONE START AND THE OTHER ONE END
A LOVER CAN BEND YOU THE OTHER CAN MEND YOU
A LOVER CAN TAKE YOU THEN GIVE YOU BACK AGAIN
WHO LASTS FOREVER WHO WALKS AWAY
WHICH CAN YOU SEVER IF BOTH WANT TO STAY
A HEART STRING CAN HOLD YOU YOUR LOVER CAN MOLD YOU
A LOOK CAN UNFOLD YOU A GLANCE COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT
Chorus: A HARD RAIN WAGES A STORM IN YOUR HEART
A HARD RAIN BEATS YOU AND RIPS YOU APART
A HARD RAIN OPENS A RAW ACHE EACH DAY
BUT A HARD RAIN CAN'T WASH YOU AWAY
YOU ARE MY LOVER YOU ARE MY FRIEND
YOU'VE HELD MY BODY YOU'VE COME TO DEPEND
ON ME NOT TO BEND YOU AND BE THERE TO MEND YOU
TO BE HERE TO TAKE YOU AND GIVE YOU BACK AGAIN
Bridge: THUNDER AND LIGHTNING, THINGS THAT SEEM FRIGHTENING
BUT POUNDING AND CRASHIN' ARE JUST WAVES OF OUR PASSION
MY ANCHOR'S MY LOVER I DON'T NEED ANY OTHER
I'VE COME TO DISCOVER MYSELF IN MY LOVER
WHEN WE'RE IN A HARD RAIN
