lyrics

When I was young
I thought the rain was cold
But now I know
That tears are too

I thought the rain was the mud that floods the world
Wished for the rain someday to stop

The rain is cold
And I am too
I wish the rain would never stop
To wash away all the dreams I fell into
To wash the pain and the blame I drown into

When I was young
I thought the sun would cheer me up
I thought it’s rays of light
Would warm me up if I was cold

But now I know the sun’s a big twinkling star
I wish the rain would come to cry my wounded hope

The sun’s a globe
A painful world
Where all the pain is not enough
So come on rain and put it out, make it go
So come on rain and cheer me up in your own gloom
Please cheer me up

I love the rain
Washes the pain
Cleans me up

I wish the pain
Might could one day
Put out the sun

I love the rain
I love it ‘cause
The rain is cold

‘Cause when a man’s in pain
The heat might wound us more

So wash my name
Wash it good
I know your tears will never stop
I know your pain and why you are oh so blue
I know your pain and your name, you know me too
