Horrorshow - The Rain lyrics

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba

Have you ever had a day
That you wanted to erase?
Tear the page out the history
Books and try again
But, you knew that you couldn't so you put on
A brave face and waited till
You could make your escape
And when you finally got away
From the people and the gossip and
The judgement in their gaze
You let your guard down
And somethin' just gave
All of a sudden tears fallin' till
They're runnin' down your face
Whatever it was, you fought with your friend
Or your boss or maybe you got
A heart that won't mend
Or you strugglin' with the rent
Or missin' someone you lost
Or maybe you just tired of pretendin'
You feel the weight like a pain in your chest
Till you strain and you ache and
You break and you sob
And it's grey till it stops till it fades
Till it's gone like the tears
Sorta washed it all away
Sometimes I like to think it's the
Same with drops of rain
That each one's just a tear
Fallin' off of God's face
Sittin' all alone in the clouds
Lookin' down on us all
Watchin' every mistake that was ever made
Every bit of pain every murder, every rape
Every person who's havin' a shitty day
Takin' it all in till he
Breaks down and cries
Till his eyes dry up and he
Gets on with it again
And I had this very faith
Tested on an ordinary day
I was walkin' down a busy
Street around my way
I saw a face in the crowd that
Made my heart skip a beat
A man who looked exactly like
An older version of me
So l moved through the hustle and the
Bustle of the day to day
Until me and this man stood face to face
We locked eyes and for a moment
Time moved in slow motion
As the crowd around continued
On their paper chase
I stood frozen in disbelief and
Opened my mouth to speak
But to my surprise the words wouldn't come
And then he looks into a
Clear blue sky up above
And says "it's gonna rain" - and then it does
And as the rain came down
Like missiles from the sky
Set on a collision course from
The heavens to the ground
He's just standin' in the middle of it all
Unconcerned by the panic and
The people runnin' round
So I stepped to this man
With my hand outstretched
Just to offer him some help to get
The storm up off his head
He took my hand down and
We stood gettin' drenched
He looked me in the eyes and with a smile
This is what he said:

Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain

So play this song on the days
When the rain keeps on
And you wait and you pray it'll stop
And if you stuck in a storm then
Spare a second for the thought
That we all at the mercy of the gods
So instead of lookin' for somewhere
To place the blame
Accept it as a part of that big lazy eight
Go outside and stand under the clouds
And embrace it as the
Rain keeps plummetin' down, and say:

Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
From the million dollar brands to
The tags on the train
It'll all wash away in the rain
From the birth to the dirt, man
The cradle to the grave
It'll all wash away in the rain
What's been and gone will come again
It'll all wash away in the rain
So hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
