rate me

The rain came down<br>The rain came down<br>The rain came down on me.<br><br>The wind blew strong<br>The summer song<br>Fades to memory<br><br>I knew you when<br>I loved you then<br>The summer's young and helpless.<br><br>You laid me bare<br>You marked me there<br>The promises we made.<br><br>I used to think<br>As birds take wing<br>They sing through life so why can't we? <br>You cling to this<br>You claim your best<br>If this is what you're offering<br>I'll take the rain<br>I'll take the rain<br>I'll take the rain.<br><br>The nighttime creases<br>Summer schemes<br>And stretches out to stay.<br>The sun shines down<br>You came around<br>You love easy days.<br><br>But now the sun,<br>The winter's come.<br>I wanted just to say<br>That if I hold<br>I'd hope you'd fold<br>Open up inside, inside of me.<br><br>I used to think<br>As birds take wing<br>They sing through life so why can't we? <br>You cling to this<br>You claim your best<br>If this is what you're offering<br>I'll take the rain<br>I'll take the rain<br>I'll take the rain.<br><br>This winter song<br>I'll sing along<br>I've searched it's still refrain<br>I'll walk alone<br>I've given this, take wing<br>Celebrate the rain.<br><br>I used to think<br>As birds take wing<br>They sing through life so why can't we? <br>You cling to this<br>You claim your best<br>If this is what you're offering<br>I'll take the rain<br>I'll take the rain<br>I'll take the rain.
