It never rains but it pours
In the night
The pain of what we left behind

I walked tall through flames
Now I crawl on the floor
Away
The papers have been signed

Uncle Jack helps me forget for a while
Stuck in my back still the knife of your smile

It never rains but it pours
In the night
The pain of what we left behind

You'll never change 
Though I implored "do me right"
In vain
A fool in love is blind

No silver line on these clouds in my sky
All that was mine you gave another guy

Uncle Jack helps me forget for a while
Stuck in my back is the knife of your smile

It never rains but it pours
In the night
The pain of what we left behind

I'll never change, I still adore you
My light remains
Here for you to find

It never rains but it pours
In the night
The pain of what we left behind

It Never Rains

A lament on unrequited love.

Lyrics:

When you walked with me along the river, oh.
I, I couldn’t say it, I couldn’t say it, oh.
You said you’re leaving, said you’re leaving, oh.
And I’m not believing, I’m not believing
But it’s true.

I know you’re with another, with another, oh.
That don’t make it easier, make it easier, oh.
I know I shouldn’t say it, shouldn’t say it, oh.
So I swallow my tears
And smile.

Oh, it’s so lovely, you know he loves you, and it’s true.
We walk on into the evening, the sun is setting behind my eyes.
A lonely breeze catches your hair as the colour leaves my sky.
Along the river,
I don’t cry.

We sit down and we rest a while, I can see you smile by the moon.
You lay back among the flowers, we’ve walked for hours all alone.
I hold this perfect moment, I know that final look is coming soon.
I turn and face the river
And I quietly cry.

Oh, along the river, flowing past us all the time.
I’ll shed my tears in the river
And hide.

We walk back along the river, there are goosebumps on your arms.
Bits of grass are stuck to your legs, and I love you all the more.
Then you pause, and you look at me, you look right through me as you do.
A single tear caresses
Your cheek.

Along the River

A song on the subject of what we pass on to others.

Pass It On

A metal cover of the classic tune.

Lyrics:

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While travelling through this world of woe.
There is a sickness, an evil danger
In this bleak land through which I go.

I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there to face my fear.
I'm going on to where I'm needed,
Right now I know, I'm nowhere near.

I know dark clouds will gather round me,
I know my way is getting steep.
These bloody fields, they lie before me,
Where we will storm my Father's keep.

They know I'm here to see my brothers.
They know I'm here to take a stand.
We're going on to where we're hated,
His evil rule ends by our hand.

When all is done and it's all over
Maybe I'll know what it was for.
I have no hope here to sustain me,
My blood now stains my Father's floor.

I journeyed here to sell my future,
I journeyed here to plant a seed.
I'm going on to where I'm no-one,
No-one will know I had to bleed.

Wayfaring Stranger (metal cover)

Lyrics:

You're an hour late
But I can wait
To see you smile
I can waste a while

But I'm a year late
Oh, you couldn't wait
Now your eyes are elsewhere
But I know you care

You see me
Like no-one before
You hold the key
To my every door

Over a rum and coke
All our borders broke
And with a shared tear
We both shed our fear

You let your feelings show
And then you let 'em go
Because I couldn't be
What you wanted of me

You see me
As I saw you then
That sweet agony!
Could you feel it again?
You see me
As I saw you then
That sweet agony!
Could you feel it again?

Walking the pathways of each other's minds
Just like like we're walking through the woods never knowing what we'd find
The more I understand the more I want to know it all
To be with you in the darkness when you hear your demons call

You give my hand a squeeze
And lift me from my knees
And you break a grin
Then pour me one more gin

The baggage in the hall
Yeah we can hold it all
In everything you do
I'll be right here for you

You see me
Like no-one before
You hold the key
To my every door
You see me
As I saw you then
That sweet agony!
Could you feel it again?

Sweet Agony v2

Lyrics:

I drew such hope from your eyes
Your soothing presence a balm for my disease
It was with truth and not lies
You sent me back down to my knees

It's such quiet thing to say
On such an ordinary day

Please, no more words
Now the moment's gone
And it may not come again
There's no more words
Just a deafening silence, hanging there
Like the calm before the rain
Just, no more words
Now you've said it all
And I'm set to fall

You drew the hope from my eyes
Dragged out and butchered, there was mercy at the end
And yet, it wasn't a surprise
I had no reason to pretend

Must be a painful thing to do
That I could never do to you

There's no more words
While you were speaking I could
Keep the tears at bay
Please, no more words
Now they're burned in me for all to see
I'm reminded every day
There's no more words
Just a hollow space
Right behind my face

Was my hope just the prize
Now stuffed and mounted, like a trophy on your wall?
My dream won't vanish, though it dies
Frozen in amber 'til you call

There's no more words
Foreclosed and shuttered
Like a cherished old café
There's no more words
All the things we had might have ended bad
but they'll never go away
There's no more words
We said too much
Now we'll never touch

Again
