Rain Child

She dances through the thunder
splashes through the rain
sinks through all the puddles
anchors her heart of stone

he wishes he could hold her
knows he never will
she slips right through his fingers
effortlessly flies

she is all he wants to hold
all he dreams about
to caress her rainy body
to love her broken heart

spinning round and round she goes
dodging raindrops
and glances from his sorrowed face
as he stares in awe of her

rain rain go away
come again another day
he screams out loud to calm himself
he wishes she would love him, even though she won't

she dances over and holds his hand
spins him round and round in the rain
he holds her as close as he can
and swears he won't let go

rain rain go away
save the last dance for him
she swears she'll always love him
he says he wont let go

rain rain go away
love love stay forever
scream your heart out
and dance rainy day child
