As a child, I sang rain go away And I tried to follow the sun And I stayed dry 'til you came one day But my life had not begun Then you struck my heart like lightning And thunder filled my brain And you said run through the storm with me We'll be children of the rain Children of the rain Children of the rain It was pouring down when I first touched you And your body felt so warm It was fire and rain when we made love You were heaven in the storm Then you said now loosen up, my friend You can let your heart be free And if you want to be a child again You just run and follow me Children of the rain Children of the rain Well, I stumble and I stammer But love was in your smile I couldn't comprehend your madness I couldn't understand your style But still you thought that I could give to you More joy than pain And together we ran through the storm We were children of the rain Children of the rain Children of the rain Now, it's been a while and I have no rain And now I have no you Well, happiness doesn't always mean That all your skies are blue Now I remember cloudy days When you washed away my pain And I remember your sweet stormy love When we were children of the rain Children of the rain We were children of the rain Children of the rain Children of the rain
