Rainboy (Phideaux)

Get out of the rain, boy – Get out of the rain The water is rising, you might wash away Climb over the wall, boy – climb over the wall The dam it is breaking, you might fall Lay your tough skin on this ground that you may be found Take this hand I offer you (wish I knew what to do) Look out on the water, look out on the water Look out on the water out to the sea Lay your skin and bone to rest upon these shores Let the sharp breeze kiss you lips May your silent heart be heard and be stirred Listen closely for the sound 'cos it growls for you It won't be long, it won't be long until you're through The wind is raw, the water's strange You can't afford to hesitate You go down – wish I could reach you Look on the horizon, tomorrow has come The flare it is rising, night is done The ice it is melting, come death in the waves The water is rising, we must not stay Stand yourself upon this ground, see what you've found Listen closely for the clue 'cos it's coming true
