lyrics

RAIN
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Causey

The street that I live on is made of ancient cobblestones
Each carries a trace of a love lost and forlorn
And as I lay my footsteps in these same old worn down stones
Feel a history of misery rise amongst my bones

The house that I live in, two up and two down
Carries the scars of one hundred years in this imitation pagan town
And as I lay my body down in the same old worn down room
I feel a million other tortured souls deep inside their tombs

And the river rises and the river falls
Mama boys cry at the gasworks walls
The unbelieving prophets turn our eyes from the light
Without a reason to believe, without a reason to fight

And another day dawns and another night falls
The people cry out and the people call
A reason to continue to live this life
A reason to believe, for a reason to fight

And the rain keeps pouring down
On the streets and souls
Of this sad town

And the rain pours all night through
As I call your name
And I reach for you
Sweetheart

This world that we live in, eternal circle of the same
Yet we are surprised when these bad old days repeat and play again
You know the story, you know the score
The pain of showing our children the door

And the river rises and the river falls
The moon turns red and the seagulls call
The clouds swirl black and the seawalls crash
The ship sailed away and my heart collapsed

And another day dawns and another night falls
The people cry out and the people call
A reason to continue to live this life
A reason to believe, for a reason to fight

And the rain keeps pouring down
On the streets and souls
Of our hometown

And the rain pours all night through
As I call your name
And I reach for you
Sweetheart
