It Can't Rain All the Time - Jane Siberry

We walk the narrow path

Beneath the smoking skies

Sometimes you can barely tell the difference

Between darkness and light

Do you have faith in what we believe?

The truest test is when we can not

When we can not see

I hear pounding feet in the

In the streets below and the

And the women crying and the

And the children know that there

That there’s something wrong

And it’s hard to believe that love will prevail

It won’t rain all the time

The sky won’t fall forever

And though the night seems long

Your tears won’t fall forever

When I’m lonely

I lie awake at night

And I wish you were here

I miss you

Can you tell me, is there something more to believe in?

Or is this all there is?

And the pounding feet in the

In the streets below and the

And the window breaks and

And a woman falls, there’s

There’s something wrong, it’s

It’s so hard to believe that love will prevail

It won’t rain all the time

The sky won’t fall forever

And though the night seems long

Your tears won’t fall

Your tears won’t fall

Your tears won’t fall

Forever

Last night I had a dream

You came into my room

You took me into your arms

Whispering and kissing me And telling me to still believe

But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see our darkest of sadness

Until I felt safe and warm

I fell asleep in your arms

When I awoke I cried again

For you were gone

Can you hear me?

It won’t rain all the time

The sky won’t fall forever

And though the night seems long

Your tears won’t fall forever

It won’t rain all the time

The sky won’t fall forever

And though the night seems long

Your tears won’t fall

Your tears won’t fall

Your tears won’t fall

Forever
