Who Will Stop The Rain

(album: Dressed For Drowning - 1980)

Far away on a cloud you came
Floating high on a dream above
The world and all its problems
How can we find a way to begin to see
Put an end to the misery
And find a new day dawning
Then I saw you standing in the sun

You came, you called out my name
And your eyes held the answer to the question
Why should men have to lie
To save them wondering why?

Who will stop the rain from faliing down
Who will stop the world and change it 'round
Who will take the sun and put it back up in the sky
Who will show the world?
This time it's you and I
You and I

In the news and the T.V. shows
They paint it black, searching high and low
There's got to be an answer
There's got to be a day when we realise
A destiny that's behind our golden eyes
It's waiting, I'm waiting
Then I saw you holding up the key

You showed (you showed), you opened my eyes to see
For the first time in my life
I look up to the sky
And see the answer why

Who will stop the rain from faliing down
Who will stop the world and change it 'round
Who will take the sun and put it back up in the sky
Who will show the world?
This time it's you and I
You and I

Look at it falling
Who will stop the rain?
[repeat]

Who will take the sun and put it back up in the sky?
Who will show the world this time? It's you and I
[repeat]

Who will stop the rain? You and I
[repeat and fade]
