Concrete Box

I woke up to the sound of rain this morning

For once it was comforting not to cry alone

Tears falling from the sky

It’s always harder to be sad on a bright day

When there’s no remedy for a fractured soul

The sun can’t reach my heart lately

A sense of displacement

A fallen leaf on a spring day

It’s the toll I never stop paying

Shadows from the past returning

To claim the present

Push them down, I ordered myself

Lock them in that cold concrete box

Don’t feel, don’t think, switch off

How foolish of me

Chorus

I can’t stop the rain from falling down

I can’t stop it, I can’t stop it now

There will always be rainy days

And sometimes even storms

I can’t stop the rain from falling down

I’ve learnt

Yeah, I’ve learnt

I could keep hiding in the quiet of my home

And watch the world go by

Or I could learn to dance within the storm

Chorus

I can’t stop the rain from falling down

I can’t stop it, I can’t stop it now

There will always be rainy days

And sometimes even storms

I can’t stop the rain from falling down

Because when I’m drenched and trembling

I’ll find my shelter in her

Yeah, when I’m drenched and trembling

I’ll find my shelter in her
