Story Behind the Song
Winter Rain is simply a metaphor for confusion, and the way a person can feel when they part ways with a loved one. Everything is going ok, then it all suddenly stops.. leaving the person feeling very confused and lonely. The basic aim of the song is to show that things do turn out ok in the end.. life simply goes on.
Lyrics
Shift those sands of time
Let them flow like the rivers beside
Me and you girl, we're doin fine
So let me take for you this ride
The sun casts its reflections below
Like fractured mirror in the darkened lane
My thoughts, theyre roamin wild
From Winter Rain
Take those icy hands
Throw em out, into the light
Step into the warmness that you see
Cause you know it feels right
On this night, its dark and cold
Heres a chance, just take it by the mane
Never find yourself short sold
Come inside, its Winter Rain
Its Winter Rain
Icy Crystal Lake
Frozen over by the threads of time
See that I dont make the mistake
Of standin on that line
Oh my past, its dull and grey
So now I have everything to gain
Look out for me night and day
Open up, its Winter Rain
Open up, its Winter Rain
Open up, its Winter Rain
That sun dont burn so brightly in the rain
So light a flame and warm my soul again
Take a slip on that sliding dust
Take a fall on that mound of clay
Try to get your head around the walls
And live another day
For this night is dark and cold
And the ice has settled in the lane
I belong behind the clockface
And Winter Rain
See those frozen smiles
Grinning out to the passing day
Holding on to deaf ears between
The grim and pressing grey
And so i've taught everything that i've known
My efforts dont go down the drain
I can see now my head is clear
It aint filled, with Winter Rain
It aint filled, with Winter Rain
It aint filled, with Winter Rain
Yeh not that Winter Rain
Yeh not that Winter Rain
Yeh not that Winter Rain
