It Can't Rain All The Time
Jane Siberry
We walked the narrow path
Beneath the smoking skies
Sometimes you can barely tell the difference
Between darkness and light
Do you have faith in what we believe?
The truest test is when we cannot
When we cannot see
I hear pounding feet in the
In the streets below, and the
And the women crying and the
And the children know that there
That there's something wrong
And it's hard to believe that
Love will prevail
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall forever
When I'm lonely, I lie awake at night
And I wish you were here
I miss you, can you tell me
Is there something more to believe in?
Or is this all there is?
In the pounding feet, in the
In the streets below, and the
And the window breaks and
And a woman falls, there's
There's something wrong, it's
It's so hard to believe
That love will prevail
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall
Your tears won't fall
Your tears won't fall forever
Last night I had a dream
You came into my room
You took me into your arms
Whispering and kissing me
And telling me to still believe
Within the emptiness of the burning cities
Against which we save our darkest selves
Until I felt safe and warm
I fell asleep in your arms
When I awoke I cried again
For you were gone
Can you hear me?
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall forever
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall
Your tears won't fall
Your tears won't fall forever
