Rain Songtext
von The Eastern

She lived out on a main of ice
Sixty odd years by the muddy lakeside
Grew up fierce with a brazen heart
Seven little babies, go and make a new start
She had love for just one man
Paddy O′Brien, won't you take my hand?
He got work down at Moana Mill
His voice still rings out in these hills
And it rained in the springtime
It rained in the sun
It rained in the autumn when the winter had come
It was raining, child, on the day you were born
She′s forgiven the rain
You know there's gonna be a storm
Just let it roll on
The Brownlees bought up Alden Lane
Cut the trees and they built a dam
When their Carrie Fell went astray
Nobody knows her own dying day
So she prayed he was the lesser thing


You can save his soul, but you can't save him
Put himself on the line to aid Brownlee′s son
Took his place beneath Dootan
And it rained in the springtime
It rained in the sun
It rained in the autumn when the winter had come
It was raining, child, on the day you were born
She′s forgiven the rain
You know there's gonna be a storm
Just let it roll on
So she laid his body down to rest
By the muddy lakeside out in the west
And it rained in the springtime
It rained in the sun
It rained in the autumn when the winter had come
And they let her stay up in the house
But life, they said, it was something else
The bankman came with the "For Sale" sign
Stuck it in the ground with the jasmine and the thyme
And it rained in the springtime
It rained in the sun
It rained in the autumn when the winter had come
It was raining, child, on the day you were born
She′s forgiven the rain
You know there's gonna be a storm
Just let it roll on
Just let it roll
