Even though we know, yeah we know

Can there be a place to call our own?

Can there be a road that takes us home?



We toe the line

We go along

We toe the line

To you now



When it rains it pours

Like summer storms

The skies as gray as leaves

The rivers flood the banks

And spill into the streets



But the people laughed

And swore that they'd restore

The city piece by piece

And then the clouds gave

Way as if to agree

When it rains it pours



The mystery unknown

Now unfolds

The life that we once owned

First bought, then sold



Like messengers of war

We've no control

To oceans unexplored

This ship sails through



We toe the line

We go along

We toe the line

To you now



When it rains it pours

Like summer storms

The skies as gray as leafs

The rivers flood the banks

And spill into the streets



But the people laughed

And swore that they'd restore

The city piece by piece

And then the clouds gave

Way as if to agree

When it rains it pours, it pours, it pours



When it rains it pours

When they die, we mourn

When it hit, we swore

Now we want not more



Like a saint reborn

Like a rose in a storm

Like a child unborn

A child unborn



It's the coin

We're tossing into the well

It's misfortune that

We could not foretell

It's the dry spell



When it rains it pours

Like summer storms

The skies as gray as leafs

The rivers flood the banks

And spill into the streets



But the people laughed

And swore that they'd restore

The city piece by piece

And then the clouds gave

Way as if to agree

When it rains it pours, it pours

When it rains it pours
