a better rain

baby

what do you say what love comes down on you

rainin' the blues on you

like it's never gonna end on you

and all your dreams like leaves in the gutter go floatin' b

no

baby

i don't know why all god's children cry

i'll miss your skin

as golden as your wheatfield hair

and where you go i hope you find out there

a better rain

the kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky

and lets you know that god's alive

a better rain

that'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again

and be all right again

in a better rain

someday is gonna find you in a sweeter place

long after time has earsed

all the words like razor blades

you'll remember you and me before the flood

once upon a time in love

a beautiful us

i can see you on some stretch of sand

spinnin' round in circles barefoot dancin' in

a better rain

that'll leave behind a rainbow in the sky

and lets you know that god's alive

a better rain

that'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again

and be all right again

in a better rain

a better rain

that'll leave behind rainbow in the sky

lets you know that god's alive

in a better rain

a better rain
