When It Rains

Peter Mayer/R. Scott Bryan/Vincent Varvel

Walking down the road one distant summer
Was a traveler bound to claim the jewel of his days
To cross the river take her hand his expectation
When an angry sky opened wide tore the bridge away

Chorus
Down the rain is falling spillin’ out my thoughts in
Wishing pools and might’ve beens
Stumbling through the sadness laughing at the madness
I remember when it rains

Pages of your days in sun and shadow
Bookmark the changes once you’ve been, but you can’t go back
They brought you joy sent you love in unmarked boxes
And the sudden storm that broke and stopped you in your tracks

Chorus
Down the rain is falling spillin’ out my thoughts in
Yesterdays and should’ve beens
Tell myself to leave it trying to believe that
Good things happen when it rains…

And come some morning clear you may smile
Sing this song for how far you’ve come from the tears
But now you’re here

Sing to me tell me louder than the raindrops
That there’s some shine down the line meant for me
There are storms that break the banks drown the city
And there is rain that brings the bloom finds the seed
Good things happen when it rains

And come some morning clear you may smile
Sing this song for how far you’ve come from the tears
But now you’re here
