about

Although this was previously grouped into the "Funky SNAFU" album, it was actually composed after the Funky SNAFU sessions and technically should have belonged to my next album.

Burnt Rain

The scars from the rain
Are sand in the bed
Sending torrents of doubt
Coursing through her head
Could lighting strike twice?
Could the floods come again? (ooh)
Will the fire of love relight?
If she ever gets near to him

Pre-Chorus
Oooh Thunder crashes on earth
Sparking fires in her
Oooh she recalls how it burned
She thought her lessons were learned
But every time it pours
Her scorched heart gently implores
Chorus
Burnt Rain
You’ll never see the sunshine on your face again
Until you face him again
I say now Burnt Rain
You never really opened ‘till you
Opened to him
Trust yourself –Do it again
Burnt Rain!
Burnt Rain!
Burnt Rain!
Burnt Rain!

Nothing but ashes now
The smoke lingers, burns her eyes
Not sure if the hope holds out
For freezing rain for burning fires

Pre-Chorus
Oooh Thunder crashes on earth
Sparking fires in her
Oooh she recalls how it burned
She thought her lessons were learned
Every time it pours
Her scorched heart loudly implores


Chorus
Burnt Rain
You’ll never see the sunshine on your face again
Until you face him again
I say now Burnt Rain
You never really opened ‘till you
Opened to him
Trust yourself –do it again
Burnt Rain!
Burnt Rain!

After break
Chorus
Burnt Rain
You’ll never see the sunshine on your face again
Until you face him again
I say now Burnt Rain
You never really opened ‘till you
Opened to him
Trust yourself –do it again
Burnt Rain!
Burnt Rain!
