lyrics
I can only write when it rains these days.
There are letters on the pages, but I don't know what they say.
Ballads tend to bloom in the dark of the mountains.
I can only write when it rains these days.
I can only dance by the light of the moon.
I can only sing to the weathervane on a gloomy afternoon.
I'll sprout fiction up like vines if a raincloud is my muse.
I can only write when it rains, it's true.
There's a quiet humility in confusing
my tears for the rain. It bemuses me
when a pretty script blossoms like carnations in the sky
and I look upon a dreary day with a poem in my eye.
I can only write when it rains these days.
I can only shine when the sun has gone away.
My words will bloom in time if they rest their weary eyes,
because I can only write when it rains these days.
There are letters on the pages, but I don't know what they say.
Ballads tend to bloom in the dark of the mountains.
I can only write when it rains these days.
I can only dance by the light of the moon.
I can only sing to the weathervane on a gloomy afternoon.
I'll sprout fiction up like vines if a raincloud is my muse.
I can only write when it rains, it's true.
There's a quiet humility in confusing
my tears for the rain. It bemuses me
when a pretty script blossoms like carnations in the sky
and I look upon a dreary day with a poem in my eye.
I can only write when it rains these days.
I can only shine when the sun has gone away.
My words will bloom in time if they rest their weary eyes,
because I can only write when it rains these days.
