Song title: The wind and the rain


The wind and the rain

The wind and rain slashing at my window pane
Lightning's flashing, looks like the sky's gone insane
And it seems like you have lied again
And now I'm left with the wind and the rain

Oh, shattered truth, jagged memories heal
You know it's hard them dreams that just can't come true
How long's it been since I've known you
Now the wind and rain is my only truth

Summertime, summertime remembers when you were mine
And now that's left so far behind
Can't you see what you've done to my mind
Now the wind and the rain's forever mine

Hey, yeah, yeah, ain't time shoring it up
Oh, the year's have made me far too tough
And when I started to go, I got rough
Now the wind and the rain is my only love
I said the wind and the rain is my only love
You know the wind and the rain is my only love

Wintertime
memories when you were mine
Oh, let them shine
Golden moments lost in time
Now I hear the grandfather's chime
The wind and rain's forever mine

The wind and the rain slashing at my window pane
Seems like you have lied again
But now I guess that it's just the same
And I am left with the wind and the rain

Hasn't time shown you enough
The years have made me far too tough
But you know where I stood when the going got rough
The wind and the rain is my only love
The wind and the rain is all I love
The wind and the rain is all I love
The wind and the rain is all I love
The wind and the rain is all I love
