Sure As The Rain

(album: All That Was East Is West Of Me Now - 2023)

Sure as the rain will fall, as the dogs go barking in the hall
As true as I'm innocent, I will draw you back to me again

I don't need cunning nor falsity, sleight of hand or sorcery
To divine what I know is true; I never saw this come for me or for you

This love, my lover, my love

The one one thing that's true; the very best of everything is you
Your heart is enormous
Come dance with me down the Rue Du Faubourg Saint-Denise
Nous monterons dans l'escalier ver chez James et chanterons toute la nuit
Mon cœur

Sure as the dance will end, the actors admit it's all pretend
Come in, my love, and close the door; I have no thought for leaving no more

This love, my lover, my love

Believe me it's true: the better part of everything is you
The world waits before us

Come dance with me down the Rue Du Faubourg Saint Denise
Nous monterons dans l'escalier ver chez James et chanterons tout la nuit
Come dance with me, á l'école Jaques LeCoq 'vec François et Olivier
Et nous buvons á leur santé, et á cet grand aventure la vie
Encore, encore

Light of my wanting, light up my bones
Light years ahead of me, light my way on

Light of my longing, tight to my skin
Lead me on always, tie me up again

Bound to your phases, pulled by your moons
Leave the door open for what's coming through

Light luminescent, hold on somehow
Burn low if you have to, but don't go out
