The rain came down
The rain came down
The rain came down on me.
The wind blew strong
The summer song
Fades to memory
I knew you when
I loved you then
The summer's young and helpless.
You laid me bare
You marked me there
The promises we made.
I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.
The nighttime creases
Summer schemes
And stretches out to stay.
The sun shines down
You came around
You love easy days.
But now the sun,
The winter's come.
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I'd hope you'd fold Open up inside, inside of me.
I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.
This winter song
I'll sing along
I've searched it's still refrain
I'll walk alone
I've given this, take wing
Celebrate the rain.
I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.
This song means everything. It could describe the rain above all and nothing more but in the same time shows the way that the person from it passes through life. Presents all his ways to living and how he considers the rain.
For me, this is a special song, is the most beautiful song I've ever heard and thank YOU for giving it to me.
This song is a truly description of every feeling inside the soul. The whole melody is infiltrated with sad, longing feelings. "Loved you then", that summer. And the summer song, has taken all the summer with it, and they're both fading into memories.
This song is a memory of all the feelings that laid inside of persons. Always, the memories remain, the feelings passes by, but if you really want to keep the feelings, to feel the same thing your whole life is truly possible, because this song helps you keeping all of the sentiments.
