about

This one I almost threw away several times, until my good friend Fred convinced me I was a fool. The words included here I started dabbling with in 1985, which means that I’m not that fast but also that I also always sensed that something would come out of it. The only song that features almost all the musicians working for this project, you could say it’s kind of a centrepiece, in a minimalistic way.

lyrics

Let it Rain

Roaming dogs always run backwards
Searching for knowledge, or for time they owned
Travelling fools always turn awkward
Seeds always die on a highway road

Let it Rain
Let it Rain

Hopeless eyes always turn inward
When there’s nothing at all but our own jokes to quote
Sailing on, through my own backyard
Mare Silentium – and mine’s the only boat

Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Let it Rain down on me oh my, oh my Lord

Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Let it Rain down on me, oh why … ?

Silent skies never turn crowded
Seems I’ve been waiting on the wrong side of dawn
I try not to cry but I can’t fight it
See all those rockets crash on my starless lawn

Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Let it Rain down on me oh my, oh my Lord

Let it Rain
Rain down on me
Let it Rain
Let it Rain
Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain
Down on me…
Let it Rain
