lyrics

WHEN IT STARTS TO RAIN (Jon Byrd)

IT DON'T STOP WITH A SINGLE DROP
YOU HEAR IT START AND IT BREAKS YOUR HEART
THE SKY GOES BLACK, THE WIND PICKS UP
AND EVERYTHING YOU LOVE'S GONNA TURN TO RUST

WHEN IT STARTS TO RAIN

IT'S GONNA STAY AROUND AWHILE
AND YOU CAN'T HELP BUT MAKE A SICKENING SMILE
'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN SAY, NOTHING YOU CAN DO
TO MAKE IT TURN AWAY, AWAY FROM YOU

WHEN IT STARTS TO RAIN

YOU CAN'T HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH
OR KEEP LOOKING TO THE SKY
WHEN IT STARTS TO RAIN

AND YOU WON'T TRY AND UNDERSTAND
ALL THE TRIALS OF ANOTHER MAN BUT YOU CAN FEEL HIS PAIN
WHEN IT STARTS TO RAIN

ALL YOUR TEARS, YOUR SWEAT AND BLOOD
WON'T PREPARE YOU FOR THE KILLING FLOOD
GOD GAVE NOAH THE RAINBOW SIGH
NOW THE WORLD SLEEPS EASY WHEN IT'S YOUR DROWNING TIME

AND IT STARTS TO RAIN
RAIN

WELL IT DON'T STOP WITH A SINGLE DROP
YOU HEAR IT START AND IT BREAKS YOUR HEART
