Gentle rain, here it comes again   Rattling 'round your window, threatening pain   Coming on like a friend but you know better than   Yesterday that held you by a different hand      Hail and stone and all that's gone   When everything that passes cuts to the bone   Turning like a wheel, dragging a heavy stone   A weight that ties you down that you will never own      Strange to see a paper smile on thee   When once you moved and light the room for us all to be   Now if I could be the sun I'd shine in your life   If I could be the rain I'd rain from your eyes   And I'd wash away the emptiness you feel inside
