Who can help but wonder
If it's better on the other side?
The ones under the thunder
And caught under the sweeping tides.
They take them waaay far out
Where the ocean washes brains
Away
I can stop
Yes I can stop
I will stop the rain

Clearer waters run
For smiling sunny days
They say they never stop
If only you would stay
I wander looking for them
In thunderhead disdain
I'll stop it short to find them
I will stop the rain

To find that sweet eternity
I'd wander just as far
As beauty stretches her long body
Holding up her stars
At least one tortured soul must go
That long road just to find
That love was only ever wrought

To be left behind.

Just like the holy spirit takes
A residence in each
Another kind of ghost resides
That no man can impeach
The waters run over my head
But baptism won't take
One sweet cure
And we all stopped--
I will stop the rain.
