Horrorshow - The Rain lyrics

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 til 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 something just gave All of a sudden a tears falling til they're running 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 struggling with the rent, or missing someone you lost Or maybe you just tired of pretending You feel the weight like a pain in your chest Til you strain and you ache and you break and you sob And grey til it stops til it fades til 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 falling off of God's face Sitting all alone in the clouds looking down on us all Watching every mistake that was ever made Every bit of pain Every murder Every rape Every person who's having a sh**ty day Taking it all in til he breaks down and cries TIl his eyes dry up and he gets on with it again And I had this very faith tested on an ordinary day I was walking down a busy street around my way I saw a face in the crowd that made my beart skip a beat A man who looked exactly like an older version of me So I 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 surprised 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 missles from the sky Set on a collision course from the heavens to the ground He's just standing in the middle of it all Unconcerned by the panic and the people runing around So I stepped to this man with my hand outstretched Just to offer him some help to get the storm up of his head He took my hand down and we stood geting drenched He looked me in the eyes 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 looking for somewhere to place the blame Just accept it as a part of that big lazy eight Go outside and stand under the clouds And embrace it as the rain keeps plummeting 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 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.
