Raining Sideways

Violent skies
Put on your raincoat
Step outside
In your rubber boots

Lightning strikes
Anywhere you go
Even your eyes
Dressed in blue

Some days your umbrella
Is no match for the rain
All your best defenses
Washed down the drain

It’s raining sideways now
You’re cold and soaking anyhow
Feel the driving rain
Unwelcome love and pain
It’s raining sideways now

Dying light
It’s getting colder
Try to hide
Safe and warm

Winds subside
The worst is not over
Calm inside
The eye of the storm

The wind may change directions
Blowing but it’s just the same
You can not fight the feeling
When It’s flowing in your veins

It’s raining sideways now
You’re cold and soaking anyhow
Feel the driving rain
Unwelcome love and pain
It’s raining sideways

Denial will not protect you
Against the rising flood
Above the sky is falling
And you’re falling in love

It’s raining sideways now
Raining, pouring, coming down
Feel the driving rain
Unwelcome love and pain
It’s raining sideways now
You’re cold and soaking anyhow
The sun will rise again
You’ll welcome love inside again
It’s raining sideways
It’s raining sideways
