lyrics

Times it’s been hard & times its been easy
travelling the road that leads from your door
morning was bright and grey clouds came early
we never said goodbye before

All the wild horses and all the wide blue skies
all of the places we saw in our sleep
no looking back now we have to keep travelling the road
that is under our feet

Chorus
Sweet rain coming down from the mountains
down to the rivers and seas
Sweet rain coming down from the mountains
roll you sweet rain roll right over me
roll you sweet rain roll right over me

Goodbye the houses that cling to the mountains
all the long days and all the long nights
goodbye the fruit trees that bow down black branches
I’m leaving behind for the first light

miracle wishes we throw by the roadside
yesterdays secrets tomorrow desires
always the sound of a hundred hearts beating
to keep me through forests and fires

Chorus

Some say I’m foolish and some say I’m reckless
sometimes I’m weary from traveling the road
but there aint no home but the one that goes with you
strong as a great wall of stone

Chorus x2
Roll you sweet rain roll right over me
