lyrics

FLYING IN THE RAIN
(© winter 1998/1999)

I’m riding a cloud
And I know it’s going to break
And I know I’m going to come down
down with the rain

Now here’s the question, I ask myself:
Do I give in to my desires?
Throw myself into the arms of the wind
and let her take me where she will

And go flying
In the rain, in the rain
Flying, in the rain, in the rain

It’s like waltzing into love
when you know you’re headed for sorrow
It’s like crossing a burning bridge
when you know it’s going to fall

And I’ll be flying
In the rain, in the rain
Flying, in the rain, in the rain

Dragon steam in frosty twilight
Stab your sword into my heart
I’m ready to die
At the breaking of the dawn

If only I can have one moment
One moment to have it all
If only I can have one moment
One moment to have it all

I’ll be flying
In the rain, in the rain
Flying, in the rain, in the rain
Flying… in the rain…
