I understand this fault is mine
I'm basking in reflected light
Why should I run, why should I hide?
Why should I take another's prize?
You don't see it, you just don't see it
But you're up to your neck in it now
Black summer rain, black summer rain
Black summer rain, black summer rain
Dark brooding thoughts that cross my mind
Like clouds across your sunny sky
They weather, they weather in me
And I understand this serpentine
You don't see it, you just don't see it
But you're spoiling this perfect day
Black summer rain, black summer rain
Black summer rain, black summer rain
Like a maelstrom around you, it blinds you
Hiding behind all those lies
Condescending, aloof when we find you
But you're in for a nasty surprise
You don't see it, you just don't see it
But you're up to your neck in it now
Black summer rain, black summer rain
Black summer rain, black summer rain
