lyrics

Still The Rain - Stephen Leigh

You said there would be stormy days
But beyond the dark was the sun
I waited for that brightening haze
But still the rain fell down
And still the rain poured down

Our arguments would bond us tight
That’s what you always claimed
The heat just raised the Fahrenheit
And burned our love away
Those words burned our love away

CHORUS
I thought the price for love was simply time
We’d wrap our lives around each other
Like two entwined vines
Instead we strangled each other’s dreams
Our kisses a pantomime
While still the rain fell down
And Still the rain poured down

SOLO TO VERSE

I waited for you to stake your claim
To say the words that I’d already said
Days and weeks in a waiting game
Yet silent you remained
Your silence forged my chains

CHORUS

I suppose you knew that I couldn’t perceive
That your love was nearly gone
I didn’t expect your intent to deceive
Your betrayal I couldn’t conceive
I was just too naive

I waited for you and waited some more
You never said what I waited to hear
I could wait forever more
We had no true rapport
For use there’d be no encore

CHORUS AND OUT

Easy Way Down
by Eamon O'Leary and Jefferson Hamer (The Murphy Beds)

I LOVE this duo. Eamon plays the bouzouki, an instrument I just picked up to learn. Their voices blend perfectly, and I like the Celtic/Folk influence on their songs. Check 'em out! Stephen Leigh
