Lyrics

A freight train wind called their names
Nature’d gone insane
A spark bloomed that slate gray day
But you can’t outrun the rain

He held her close, the titans rose
Fire from the sky
Through the night the thunder rolled
He asked and she replied

Our tomorrow may or may not be
But, dark will lose to light
So, hold me and soothe my pain
But you can’t outrun the rain
You can’t outrun the rain

The years passed, their love proved true
Strong as an oak it grew
But a cruel cold wind called the tune
It split that trunk in two

Swift-clouds, low, dark and grim
Stole what once they’d been
But when her time came she faced the wind
And that spark bloomed again

She said, Babe you gotta let me go
Loving hands soon will ease my pain
We always knew this day would come
You can’t outrun the rain
And you can’t outrun the pain

He held her close, the titans rose
Fire from the sky
Through the night the thunder rolled
He asked and she replied

Our tomorrow may or may not be
But, dark will lose to light
So, hold me and soothe my pain
But you can’t outrun the rain
You can’t outrun the rain
You can’t outrun the rain
