Graham Parker - Hard Side of the Rain lyrics

Twisted shards of metal Silhouetted against the sky The dust may never settle But those clouds keep rolling by Ignorance and folly are the order of the day But nothing lasts forever It might seem that way It might seem that way But there's a brand new day But there's a brand new day When the hard side of the rain Won't hammer at your head The mad ride on this train Will stop when the lights turn red The dark tide of your pain Will turn the tide instead And wash away the hard side of the rain When your windows shake and rattle And the storm comes crashing down People act like cattle Herded across the ground And you're working on a losing streak And you can't see the victory come Well you can't win every battle But you can win some But you can win some You know you gotta win some You know you gotta win some When the hard side of the rain Won't hammer at your head The mad ride on this train Will stop when the lights turn red The dark tide of your pain Will turn the tide instead And wash away the hard side of the rain When the sky is a solid ma** brooding overhead And the place where you put your pillow Is not where you put your bed And the weight of every raindrop Feels like a ton of lead And your windows shake and rattle The storm is coming on You can't win every battle But you can win some But you can win some But you can win some But you can win some When the hard side of the rain Won't hammer at your head The mad ride on this train Will stop when the lights turn red The dark tide of your pain Will turn the tide instead And wash away the hard side of the rain
