lyrics

I heard an ode to rain
As I walked along Dame lane
Fine drops like rain on me
My thoughts turned bitterly
Christchurch's bells they pealed
For all whose fate is sealed
And a song sung long ago
All my thoughts yet seemed to know
Here's a hymn for those who may
Fall to sin and fail to pray

An ode to rain
The more things change
The more they stay the same

And on to Wexford street
Some wayward soul to meet
We passed a word or two
But all was misconstrued
And the crowd they cheered so loud
That the light of truth went out
As I walked away alone
All my thoughts the long way home
Were of things not meant to be
Set to that sweet old melody

An ode to rain
The more things change
The more they stay the same

He was around my age
When he first put pen to page
He'd been along this way
And felt he'd had his day
A refrain it fell on him
With the rain that he would sing
So if you feel that hand of fate
On your back till you might break
I'll lead you through this sorry town
And we will sing as others drown

An ode to rain
The more things change
The more they stay the same
