Ame The Rain

Lightning strikes and fills the sky
With ocean bright and I'm alive
Saw it come across the bay
Just like a drum between my eyes
Ame says that above all youve got to try
So my heart is broken
It's a token of the joy ive had
Walked the plank and I've been tranquilized
Delighted to have met
Ame says you've got to bring good to the bad
Ame's just about the best friend that I had

And I will show up for the game
Even if nothing stays the same
I've grown so I don't mind the rain

Walked a line but all the time
It was blowing in the sand
Hold on tight, but despite my love
It's slipping through my hands
Ame says that I should be the man I am
Ame and I get drunk on rain upon the pasture land

And I will show up for the game
Even if nothing stays the same
I've grown so I don't mind the rain

I'm soaked through
And so are you, and you, and you
I'm soaked through but no boo-hoo
No shame on you
Just hallelu-

We have no engines of our own
We go where wings drive us to go
Say no never land
The same forever land
This land is what it is
And will you take it home

Ame's young
And on her tongue a recipe for paradise
Every child gets reconciled
And given food, given rice
Ame you know
When it rains you've got to cry
So you get clean
And you can smile when you are dry
Ame, the one thing you taught me to apply
Is it's love, it's love, it's love
And above all you've got to try

And I will show up for the game
You pick the teams, each sides the same
And I will show up for the game
Even if nothing stays the same
I've grown so I don't mind the rain

I'm soaked through
But so are you, and you, and you
I'm soaked through
But no boo hoo no shame on you
Just hallelu
