Papa Rain - The Hollies

Papa Rain

Is that a face behind the silly grin and buried chin?

I’d say I had that

Swapping something out

While taking something in

Hopes were rising

Hopes were rising

Papa Rain

Silently you just seem self

That the number one is odd

Leaning heavily

On faith he’s built

Touch across the guard

Mama’s dying

Mama’s dying

Papa go out

Hold the young child near

Let his young heart beat for two

Papa go out

Hold the young child near

Let his young eyes cry for two

Papa Rain

Papa Rain

By the fireside he’s kneeling

A chance for looking back

Have you played it right

And payed it right?

Settle up for what you had

Hopes were rising

Papa Rain

Silently you just seem self

That the number one is odd

Leaning heavily

On faith he’s built

Touch across the guard

Mama’s dying

Mama’s dying
