She makes a promise Asks for love She needs to know that there is still a God above When the rain comes down She'll still be burning Her sense of freedom, her joyous air Has given way to days of darkness and despair When the rain comes down She'll still be burning
When the rain comes down Burning when the rain comes down
She can remember days gone by Dream in the open field beneath the starry sky She hears her lover's call Her heart is yearning She loved these people (loved these people) Loved this land (loved this land) She must return she feels her time is close at hand No matter how she tries, she can't stop caring
When the rain comes down still be burning When the rain comes down Her heart is yearning for her own home town Still burning when the rain comes down
Don't say tomorrow, it never comes O how she loathes this life being trapped in these city slums Deep in her memory, her heart is tearing
And now she tries to heal the scars left deep inside The blood red flower, that once in bloom Is dying in her prison
When the rain comes down Still be burning when the rain comes down Still be burning when the rain comes down Burning when the rain comes down
