I’ll Take the Rain Songtext
von R.E.M.

The rain came down
The rain came down
The rain came down on me

The wind blew strong
The summer song
Fades to memory

I knew you when
I loved you then
The summers young and helpless

You laid me bare
You marked me there
The promises we made


I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why cant we?
You cling to this
You claim your best
If this is what youre offering
I′ll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I′ll take the rain

The night time creases
Summer schemes
And stretches out to stay
The sun shines down
You came around
You love easy days

But now the sun
The winters come
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I'd hope you'd fold
Open up inside, inside of me


I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can′t we?
You cling to this
You claim your best
If this is what you′re offering
I'll take the rain
I′ll take the rain
I'll take the rain
This winter song
I′ll sing along
I've searched it′s still refrain
I'll walk alone
I've given this, take wing
Celebrate the rain

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can′t we?
You cling to this
You claim your best
If this is what youre offering
I′ll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I′ll take the rain

I'll take the rain
I′ll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I′ll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
