dancing in the rain

from poacher's night by Tim O'Connor

/

lyrics

you've been living on the ceiling
feeling far away
giving up on dreaming
and trying to keep awake
because the colours have been changing
fading into grey
and all the coffee you've been making
tastes of ashes anyway
it tastes of ashes anyway

but just when you think you've fallen
the sunrise catches you
and flies across the bitter waters
to a day all bright and new
and sends a gentle chorus
that's familier and true
as tenderness comes calling
with eyes of deepest blue
with eyes of deepest blue

and the feeling takes a hold of you
and carries you away
it seems to leave you bold enough to choose
all the choices you never thought you'd make
like dancing in the rain
as the storm breaks
like loving once again
after heart-ache

now you're jumping through a halo
the colour of the sun
you can have no fear of failure
'cause you're living just for fun
the congregation of the rainbow
and the moon and stars above
shall attend you if you call
to celebrate what you've begun

and now you've left the circle
you have made the break and strayed
away from the path that hurt you
no more ceilings in the way
so you can rip aside the curtains
now that summers here to stay
and you know it's true for certain
you'll be happy every day
you'll be happy every day

and the feeling takes a hold of you
and carries you away
it seems to leave you bold enough to choose
all the choices you never thought you'd make
like dancing in the rain
as the storm breaks
like loving once again
after heart-ache

like dancing in the rain
as the storm breaks
like loving once again
after heart-ache

like dancing in the rain
like loving once again
like dancing in the rain
like loving once again
