Day by day Seems like you drift away Maybe it's just a phase But it won't take a lot To put out this fire we've got What's left just don't seem so hot It flickers and strains Waits for the rain. As it fades from a fire To a dying flame, And it looks like rain See the clouds in the sky They don't even seem to mind It will die don't they know Feel the wind begin to blow Soon it will bring the rain Wash it all away. If I cover this flame Safe from the pouring rain I don't think it would change a thing 'Cause I just believe It's got to have room to breath So it occurs to me I could lose either way Here comes the rain. As it fades from a fire To a dying flame, And it looks like rain See the clouds in the sky They don't even seem to mind It will die don't they know Feel the wind begin to blow Soon it will bring the rain Wash it all away. Soon it will bring the rain Wash it all away. If you don't come back the rain Will wash it all away...
