These flowers I found you Were the truest red that I'd ever seen Till you cut yourself on their thorns You winced and I kissed you And I kissed your palms and we both laughed So unaware of the gathering storm
[Chorus] It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain Till the levee breaks And a tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away Another fight into the night Until nothing else remains How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
[Verse 2] Now sheltered in shadows The quiet song of your breath stirs the dark Your skin like the rose 'neath my hand And I can't keep from wondering Why nothing good could ever stay Why faith feels like a fistful of sand
[Chorus x2] It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain Till the levee breaks And a tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away Another fight into the night Until nothing else remains How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
