let it rain

"get into the groove boy you've got to prove your love to me."
played on the radio as we drove down south to see our families.
you were lying there in the passenger chair sound asleep.
i could recall a time when the evenings were bright and thick with love,
and all the city streets and their lights, they were so mysterious.
oh life it was so wonderful it would shine oh like fire.
how we sat on the backs of our cars and laughed into the morning.
oh, I thought you'd come and go.
i never thought you would stay,
and I'm sorry if I tried to push you away.
oh, the edges they fold and you suddenly find you are buried beneath
a blanket of snow you had no idea was even falling.
you're sitting on a couch inside your home feeling cold.
oh and nothing's clear at all, your thoughts they have become so hard to find.
with a question mark always slumped at the end of these awkward lines.
all the simple words we loved to speak are no longer audible.
and I never thought with you and I this would be possible.
i can feel the world comming apart,
and I need you by my side with your delicate heart.
so please don't leave no don't you run.
don't be frightened by the storm oh so bold and brave.
just let it rain.
oh I thought you'd come and go
i never thought you would stay
and I'm sorry if I tried to push you away
yeah I thought you'd come and go
i never thought you would stay
and I'm sorry if I tried to push you away

1970 tarihli eric clapton albümünde güzel bir çalışma. ayrıca güzel bir soloyu da barındırır. sözleri;

the rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me.
the sun could never thaw away the the bliss that lays around me.

let it rain, let it rain,
let your love rain down on me.
let it rain, let it rain,
let it rain, rain, rain.

her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun.
until i found the way to love, it's harder said than done.

let it rain, let it rain,
let your love rain down on me.
let it rain, let it rain,
let it rain, rain, rain.

now i know the secret; there is nothing that i lack.
if i give my love to you, you'll surely give it back.

let it rain, let it rain,
let your love rain down on me.
let it rain, let it rain,
let it rain, rain, rain.

muhteşem bir warrant parçası.

sözlerini de yazayım da tam olsun;

I can't get up the never to call you
But I want to call so bad
To find out, who's holding on to
The most beautiful thing I ever had

Babe I guess I never really took the time
To show how much I care
CHORUS
Let it rain (rain)
Let it rain down on me
Hide these tears I'm crying
So no one can see
That I'm still not over you
But if you're over me
Let it rain (rain)
Let it rain down on me

We used to lay together like spoons
It was the only way I could sleep
And this pillow is a poor subsitute
For your body next to me

I reach to pull you closer
And remember you're not there

CHORUS
The rain is not so bad after all
It camouflages eveyr tear that falls
It cleanses me of all the blame
I've put upon myself
I hear your married now
Well I hope he treats you well
Oh let it rain

CHORUS

I can't get up the never to call you.
