R.E.M. "I'll Take The Rain" paroles

I'll Take The Rain

The rain came downThe rain came downThe rain came down on me.

The wind blew strongThe summer songFades to memory

I knew you whenI loved you thenThe summer's young and helpless.

You laid me bareYou marked me thereThe promises we made.

I used to thinkAs birds take wingThey sing through life so why can't we?You cling to thisYou claim the bestIf this is what you're offeringI'll take the rainI'll take the rainI'll take the rain.

The nighttime creasesSummer schemesAnd stretches out to stay.The sun shines downYou came aroundYou love easy days.

But now the sun,The winter's come.I wanted just to sayThat if I holdI'd hope you'd fold Open up inside, inside of me.

I used to thinkAs birds take wingThey sing through life so why can't we?You cling to thisYou claim the bestIf this is what you're offeringI'll take the rainI'll take the rainI'll take the rain.

This winter songI'll sing alongI've searched its still refrainI'll walk aloneI've given this, take wingCelebrate the rain.

I used to thinkAs birds take wingThey sing through life so why can't we?You cling to thisYou claim the bestIf this is what you're offeringI'll take the rainI'll take the rainI'll take the rain.
