Roddy Frame - Forty Days of Rain lyrics

In the spring, when this thing began I was down, a dying man And as I died and decayed I pushed her away Saying "Why don't you stay"? Days turned to dust, my heart ran dry A compromise was a tooth for an eye I was under a spell How could I tell the truth from the lies And could this wretch really be restored? I went out west and the rain it poured And there appeared a king And he held his sword over me Forty days of rain Washed it away, washed it away I knew I'd never be the same again I was lost but I'm found, lost but I'm found And until I felt the joy in the pain I used to pray for the sun To turn night into day Now I kneel and feel the frost on the ground And I rise and I pray I kind of had a bad idea I slipped into my deepest fear My room 101, the end of the run The worst thing I'd ever done I couldn't get the pin back in Where did it end and where did I begin I tried to call it a day, day after day And could this wretch really be restored I went out west, seeking for the sun And the rain it poured Forty days of rain Washed it away, washed it away I knew I'd never be the same again I was lost but I'm found, lost but I'm found And until I felt the joy in the pain I used to pray for the sun To turn night into day I found forgiveness on the back of a bay And I rise and I pray Cos I was lost but I'm found I was lost but I'm found
