Story Behind the Song
Deep seated pain would offen surface in form of withdrawal for the good things in my life. A pattern that went unrecognized for years. Accompanying this sense of void and loss of purpose was a cold chill that would shiver me to the bone. Much like the chill one suffers when truely caught unprotected in the rain. The only comfort I would often find would be in form of infatuation for some beautiful women, or someone else's life that I precieved as some type of deliverance. This song truly helped me recogonize this pattern. It came from within and to this day still moves me when I hear it. It offers a challenge, some truth and some release to the rain which I believe can tend to overcome us all. Pass out the blankets, we've all been cold in the rain, and if you haven't I dare say you have yet to live.
Lyrics
Verse:
Black and white, ( as in clear resolution)
Is off in the corner.
Watering eyes remeber watching you,
Like flickering pictures
Of frozen silent devotion,
The frozen faces,
Make me think of you.
Your supple fingers,
Agianst this faded pickup door. ( as in my low self esteem)
Your desert features,
A lullaby to the pain.
This familiar addiction,
I shouldn't need it anymore.
But I still remember,
In my mind,
Chorus:
In my rain,
When it rains,
In my rain,
When it rains,
Verse:
So I kneel in benediction,
And I ask to see the light.
Confusing condradiction,
Is this all I can hope for.
All the pieces,
Will I ever get them right,
They keep floating away from me,
In this silly down pour.
Well I never asked to love you,
You're like a rope around my wrist.
Colors turning blue,
Robbing my viens.
I shouldn't let it hit me,
But I really can't resist,
In my mind,
Chorus:
