Prayers For Rain 

The Cure

You shatter me your grip on me a hold on me so dull it kills

You stifle me infectious sense of hopelessness and prayers for rain

I suffocate I breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate

And drab the hours all spent on killing time again all waiting for the rain

You fracture me your hands on me a touch so plain so stale it kills

You strangle me entangle me in hopelessness and prayers for rain

I deteriorate I live in dirt and nowhere glows but drearily and tired

The hours all spent on killing time again all waiting for the rain

You fracture me your hands on me a touch so plain so stale it kills

You strangle me entangle me in hopelessness and prayers for rain

Prayers for rain

Prayers for rain

Prayers for rain

The Rain Song

This is the springtime of my loving-

the second season I am to know

You are the sunlight in my growing-

so little warmth I've felt before.

It isn't hard to feel me glowing-

I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles-

flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.

Speak to me only with your eyes

it is to you I give this tune.

Ain't so hard to recognize-

These things are clear to all from

time to time. Ooooh...

Talk Talk-

I've felt the coldness of my winter

I never thought it would ever go

I cursed the gloom that set upon us...

But I know that I love you so

but I know that I love you so.

These are the seasons of emotion

And like the winds they rise and fall

This is the wonder of devotion-

I see the torch we all must hold.

This is the mystery of the quotient-

Upon us all a little rain

must fall, Just a little rain?

ooooh, yeah yeah yeah!
