lyrics

Rain

Verse 1

She sits by the bedside awaiting a call

No she’s not expecting, just needs to talk

But not for the rain that patters on pane,

But not for the rain she would hear nothing.

As frail as an Autumn leaf awaiting the cold

Just a voice in the wind could break the hold

But not for the rain that patters on pane,

But not for the rain she would hear nothing.

PreChorus

Round and round, fall asleep, one day into next

Don’t knock on the door

Round and round, not a peep, mama needs her rest

She’ll be good in the morn

Chorus

And so calling into the air

“I need you”

“I need you”

Calling into the air

“I need you”

“I need you”

Lost in the night, a scream now a whisper

Verse 3.

The tears have dried up, not one more will fall

Just cracks in her skin like the paint flaked walls

But not for the rain that's pelting her frame,

But not for the rain she would feel nothing.

Alan Donnelly Wexford, Ireland

My name is Alan Donnelly and I am a solo artist from Limerick, Ireland but living in Wexford, Ireland. When it comes to my "style" of music expect music made up of more haunting melodies and dark lyrics, but there's also some more playful, tongue-in-cheek tracks to sink your teeth into! If you like what you hear follow us on the socials and playlist me on Spotify! ;) ... more
