Lovely Rain, Deadly Rain song from WOTW story

LOVELY RAIN, DEADLY RAIN



 VERSE ONE

QUIET LIKE A WHISPER, THEY'RE BEGINNING TO DROP 
THEY FALL FROM THE DARK CLOUDS AND YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM STOP
FALL TO THE DUSTY EARTH FROM THE BLUE OF THE SKY 
BRINGING FORTH NEW LIFE TO SPRING UP AND DIE.

 VERSE TWO

RAIN ON THE ROOFTOPS AND RAIN ON THE GROUND 
FAT SILVER DROPLETS, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUND 
GATHERING MOMENTUM AS THE THUNDER ROLLS ON
WASHING AWAY FOOTPRINTS TILL THE TRACES ARE GONE.

 CHORUS:

 RAIN, IT IS LOVELY AND WE NEED IT SO MUCH
 THE GRASS NEEDS IT'S DRENCHING AND THE ROSE NEEDS IT'S TOUCH
 BUT RAIN IS SO DEADLY WHEN IT DOESN'T STOP 
 A DOZEN DREAMS WASHED AWAY WITH EACH LITTLE DROP.

 VERSE THREE

IN THE MIDNIGHT, IT'S MAGIC AND IN THE MORNING, IT'S SWEET 
SPLASHING IN MUDDY POOLS FOR THE BABY'S BARE FEET 
LIFE GIVING WATER FOR THE FARMER'S DRY FIELDS
SUCH A GIFT FROM THE HEAVENS THAT YOU KNOW GOD IS REAL.

 VERSE FOUR 

MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD, MEMORIES OF LOVE 
COLD ICY SURPRISES AS THEY FALL FROM ABOVE 
HIDING UNDER TALL TREES AND OLD BARNS AND SUCH 
OH THE STORMS OF MY CHILDHOOD, HOW I LOVED THEM SO MUCH!

 CHORUS:

RAIN, IT IS LOVELY AND WE NEED IT SO MUCH 
THE GRASS NEEDS IT'S DRENCHING AND THE ROSE NEEDS IT'S TOUCH 
BUT RAIN IS SO DEADLY WHEN IT DOESN'T STOP
A DOZEN DREAMS WASHED AWAY WITH EACH LITTLE DROP.


 VERSE FIVE

 NOW THE OLD PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE GREAT FLOODS OF THE EARTH
 I'VE HEARD ALL OF THE TRAGEDIES SINCE THE TIME OF MY BIRTH
 BRINGING SUCH MISERY AND BRINGING SUCH PAIN 
 LIFE AND DEATH COMING DOWN IN THE FORM OF THE RAIN.

 VERSE SIX 

BUT TONIGHT IN YOUR SWEET ARMS WHILE THE LIGHTNING IS BRIGHT
AND THE THUNDER, IT FINDS US AS WE HIDE IN THE NIGHT 
I FORGET ALL THE WARNINGS ABOUT DANGER AND FLOOD 
AND WE LAUGH IN THE RAINFALL AND IT'S TOUCH FEELS SO GOOD.

 CHORUS:

 RAIN, IT IS LOVELY AND WE NEED IT SO MUCH
 THE GRASS NEEDS IT'S DRENCHING AND THE ROSE NEEDS IT'S TOUCH
 BUT RAIN IS SO DEADLY WHEN IT DOESN'T STOP
 A DOZEN DREAMS WASHED AWAY WITH EACH LITTLE DROP.


 EXTRA VERSE TO END

 BUT TONIGHT IN YOUR SWEET ARMS AS I HOLD YOU SO TIGHT
 I REVEL IN THE STORM CLOUDS AND I DREAM IN THE NIGHT
 LOVELY RAIN IS NOT THREATENING BUT I'M STILL CARRIED AWAY
 LOVELY RAIN IS NOT THREATENING BUT I'M STILL CARRIED AWAY

 LOVELY RAIN, AND YOUR SWEET LOVE ... IT STILL SWEEPS ME AWAY.
