Rain Comes Crashing Down

(album: Big Life - 1987)

So you say you've written letters
And you've mailed them to yourself
And through the politics of compromise
You've left them lying upon your shelf
At the risk of seeming crazy
I've set off to find your cure
With apologies for knowing
It's a difficult time of year

And the shadows you leave behind you
Are like the rain that's crashing down
When there's no one left around
I'll be the rain that's crashing
Rain that's crashing down

So you say we're going nowhere
With the fear of wasting youth
Through the different times and with different eyes
I see it every change in you
And now we've reached the point of knowing
That in love we're never sure
Still I'm holding on tight to memories
And there you go walking out the door

And the shadows you leave behind you
Are like the rain that's falling down
And your halo was left in town
And still the rain comes crashing down
And the sadness you leave behind you
Like shadows across the ground
When there's no one left around
I'll be the rain that's crashing
Rain that's crashing down
[Repeat]

Rain comes crashing down [7x]
The rain [3x]
