[Verse 1] All the rivers are bending And the mountains are peaking And the flowers are blooming And the meadows are rolling Into waves that rush upon the shore And barely touch your toes The clouds are crowding round us For some reason, no one knows And I said [Chorus] Hey, looks like rain Then you lifted your hands and prayed Go away You can come back some other day But they stayed And you soaked under all of the grey And the rain Washed all our cries and pleas away [Verse 2] Now the season is changing And the leaves now are turning And the birds arent singing And the grass isnt green anymore Than it used to be when the sunbeams lit it up And the clouds are crowding round us just to say theyve had enough And I said [Chorus] Hey, looks like rain Then you lifted your hands and prayed Go away You can come back some other day But they stayed And you soaked under all of the grey And the rain Washed all our cries and pleas away [Bridge] And now the current takes us out and all the ripples turn to waves The wind begins caressing all the branches to a sway The air shattered like glass and fell like crystals on your face I took you in my arms, and I could hear you saying grace Then I said [Chorus] Hey, looks like rain Then you lifted your hands and prayed Go away You can come back some other day But they stayed And you soaked under all of the grey And the rain Washed all our cries and pleas away
