Can’t Stop The Rain
Words and music by Dave Perkins
Dreambox / ASCAP 1992


You were the one, who was there
You were the wind at my back, blowing me across the cracks that fall to nowhere
You were sun on my life, you were warm against the pain
It was you all along, it was you that knew that I can’t stop the rain

You worked the lever, you were the rudder
Through the immortal years, when I could do it all, I thought I would live forever
You were cover in the wars, it was all your sense of aim
Any day I found my way, it was you that knew that I can’t stop the rain

Tsunami streets sweep away the king’s clothes
Standing naked means nothing in a ghost town
But when the levee breaks, you’ll know

You were sun in my life, you were warm against the pain
It was you all along, it was you that knew that I can’t stop the rain
