lyrics

Every little drop of rain
is keeping me from the fire warning
and I swore never to walk through the place
where the garden was razed
Every little step I take
is keeping me from the fine morning
when I'll wake knowing what lies
in the time become lines on her face

And it's another morning on the way
Can't keep from falling - run away

Help me through another day
Help me still the wild yearning
to cross back over the line
to a time I can never replace
How could I have touched the flame?
How to stop the fire burning?
How bring back all that was lost
when the flood broke and shattered the gates?

And it's another dawning gone today
No sense in mourning - it's gone away

It's gonna rain
It's gotta rain
