I’ll Take the Rain

[Verse 1] The rain came down The rain came down The rain came down on me The wind blew strong And summer's song Fades to memory I knew you when I loved you then In summer's yawn now hopeless You laid me bare You marked me there The promises we made [Chorus] I used to think "As birds take wing They sing through life so why can't we?" We cling to this and claim the best If this is what you're offering I'll take the rain I'll take the rain [Verse 2] The nighttime creases Summer schemes And stretches out to stay The sun shines down You came around You loved the easy days But now the sun The winter's come I wanted just to say That if I hold I'd hoped you'd fold And open up inside, inside of me [Chorus] I used to think "As birds take wing They sing through life so why can't we?" We cling to this and claim the best If this is what you're offering I'll take the rain I'll take the rain [Verse 3] This winter's song I'll sing along I've searched its still refrain I'll walk alone If given this, take wing Celebrate the rain [Chorus] I used to think "As birds take wing They sing through life so why can't we?" We cling to this and claim the best If this is what you're offering I'll take the rain I'll take the rain [Outro] I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain I'll take the rain
