After The Rain

Who lies on sheets of ice Who pays for paradise After the rain, after the rain Who suffers fools and freaks Who hang in guilty cliques After the rain, after the rain Somebody save me, the water's rising Sweet Jesus, take the blame Who knows whose star is falling After the rain, after the rain Who took the gold from their teeth Who takes the ancient masterpiece After the rain, after the rain Who throws the winning dice Who lies beneath the ice After the rain, after the rain Somebody save me, the water's rising Sweet Jesus, take the blame Who knows whose star is falling After the rain, after the rain Somebody save me, the water's rising Sweet Jesus, take the blame Who knows whose star is falling After the rain, after the rain Oh, yeah After the rain After the rain After the rain You better walk out after the rain After the rain, after the rain Yeah, after the rain After the rain, after the rain After the rain

Oh, if I had my way I would never go back With my back to the wall, I just let myself fall Watch the daytimes turn black But now and again I find you cross my mind Oh, if I was a train I would never slow down My head in the sky and world goin' by every nowhere town As I write one more letter to you No, I can't change the things I do, ohhhh One day when you discover just why I ran Ran away from you, lover Well I know i'm to blame I feel so ashamed Called out your name Ohhhh, after the rain Well, what do you want me to do? I've thrown away everything for you Well, I've wasted my dreams Each day it seems Losing my way back to you It's time for a change What else could i do? With the clock ticking time Better make up my mind Is it me or is it you? Yeah tonight as i'm losing control I will drink to the queen of my soul One day when it is discovered just why i ran, ran away Ran away from you, lover I know i'm to blame I feel so ashamed Called out your name Ohhhh, after the rain...
