If It Rains
[Verse 1]

I can't understand how it happened
Seems I've run into more
Than too soon I'm sure
As the shimmering presence of daybreak
Descends to the living room floor
I step to the window and listen
To sounds it seems I've never heard before
A street like a midwestern carnival
A girl on an alien shore

[Chorus]

When the sun shines at midnight
Keep me running just the same
But see me still, if it rains
If it rains

[Verse 2]

My eyes scan out around me
As I hear them on the run
Though a thousand lions surround mе
I count them all as one
[Chorus]

When thе sun shines at midnight
Keep me running just the same
But see me still, if it rains
If it rains (rains)

[Verse 3]

A black and lightless cavern
A riddle from on high
I feel the bright eyed courier
Can teach me how to cry
These things now second nature
Remain a part of me
With only rain to tell me of
The places I can be

[Chorus]

When the sun shines at midnight
Keep me running just the same
But see me still, if it rains
If it rains

[Chorus]
When the sun shines at midnight
Keep me running just the same
But see me still, if it rains
If it rains (rains)
