Don't Tell The Rain
Blue skies traded for grey
Why do I feel the way I do?
Is it something about the weather, baby,
Or something to do with you?
There's sunlit rain on the windshield
But not enough to wipe away
I've been through so many storms now
No changing weather defines my day.
From the moment that we're born
We're all falling down, all falling down
Some say there's no cause for alarm
Cause its a long way down, its a long way down
Others try to save our souls
They tell us how to hit the ground, how to hit the ground.
I think its all less help and more harm.
Don't tell the rain how to navigate a storm.
Its sometimes so hard to forget
Everything we think we know
It requires so much effort
To let a final few things go
But when they've all been dropped from your back
You just might find
You're free for a more interesting road
Than what you thought you'd left behind.
From the moment that we're born
We're all falling down, all falling down
Some say there's no cause for alarm
Cause its a long way down, its a long way down
Others try to save our souls
They tell us how to hit the ground, how to hit the grownd.
I think its all less help and more harm.
Don't tell the rain how to navigate a storm.
From the moment that we're born
We're all falling down, all falling down
Some say there's no cause for alarm
Cause its a long way down, its a long way down
Others try to save our souls
They tell us how to hit the ground, how to hit the grownd.
I think its all less help and more harm.
Don't tell the rain how to navigate a storm.
Blue skies traded for grey.
Why do I feel the way I do?
It has nothing to do with the weather, baby
and everything to do with you.

Blue skies traded for grey.
Why do I feel the way I do?
Is it something about the weather, baby,
Or is it something to do with you?
There's scattered rain on the windshield
But not enough to wipe away
I've been through so many storms now
Chorus
From the moment that we're born
We're all falling down,
We're all falling down.
And some say there's no cause for alarm
'Cause its a long way down
Its a long way down.
And others try to save our souls
They tell us how to hit the ground
How to hit the ground
But I think its all less help and more harm
Don't tell the rain how to navigate a storm.
Its sometimes hard to forget
Everything that we think we know.
It requires so much effort
To finally let some things go.
But when it all falls from your back
I think you just might find
You're on a far more interesting road now
Than anything you've left behind
Chorus
From the moment that we're born
We're all falling down,
We're all falling down.
And some say there's no cause for alarm
'Cause its a long way down
Its a long way down.
And others try to save our souls
They tell us how to hit the ground
How to hit the ground
But I think its all less help and more harm
Don't tell the rain how to navigate a storm.
[Verse Instrumental]
Chorus
From the moment that we're born
We're all falling down,
We're all falling down.
And some say there's no cause for alarm
'Cause its a long way down
Its a long way down.
And others try to save our souls
They tell us how to hit the ground
How to hit the ground
But I think its all less help and more harm
You don't tell the rain how to navigate a storm.
[Chorus Instrumental]
Blue skies traded for grey.
Why do I feel the way I do?
It has nothing to do with the weather, baby
and everything to do with you.
