The Rain Came Tumblin' Down - Mark Spiro

I have longed for light years

To have you next to me

Nothing but the big blue

As far as the eye can see

Diamondless fingers

Your love will always linger

After the years go by

This lonely archipelago

Won’t keep my thoughts at bay

I long for your sympatico

With every rolling wave

My heart sets sail

In the face of a woman’s betrayal

Now as the years go by

I know deep inside

When your mind’s on the money

Your heart’s in the gutter

You’re lying to yourself

When you lie with another

After the fire

The rain come tumblin' down

When all get to heaven

They’ll hand you a shovel

And you can dig your soul

From the rocks and the rubble

After the fire

The rain come tumblin' down

Tumblin' down

Water fill my foot prints

Cover up my tracks

Let me lose my memory

Or bring my lover back

Here on this shore line

I’ll pray for one more life time

After the years go by

I know deep inside

When your mind’s on the money

Your heart’s in the gutter

You’re lying to yourself

When you lie with another

After the fire

The rain come tumblin' down

When all get to heaven

They’ll hand you a shovel

And you can dig your soul

From the rocks and the rubble

After the fire

The rain come tumblin' down

And the floods came up

And the house on the rocks

Came crumblin' down

Like a fool, like a jerk in the cage

Who waits for his luck to change

When there’s no-one around

When your mind’s on the money

Your heart’s in the gutter

You’re lying to yourself

When you lie with another

After the fire, oh, oh oh

We’ll gather at the river

On judgment day

You’ll look into my eyes

And won’t know what to say

After the fire

The rain come tumblin' down

The rain come tumblin' down

(When your mind’s on the money)

(Your heart’s in the gutter) Your heart’s in the gutter

(You're lying to yourself)

(When you lie with another)

After the fire

The rain come tumblin' down

(When all get to heaven)

(They'll hand you a shovel)

(And you can dig your soul)

(From the rocks and the rubble)

After the fire

The rain come tumblin' down
