Lyrics The Rain Came Tumblin' Down - Mark Spiro

The Rain Came Tumblin' Down

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
