Lyrics

Before the rain came in
I thought that everything
Was always going to be good
But when I saw the form
Of the thunderstorm
It was coming right to where we stood

So the sun must cast its shadow
A fire keeps your breath alight
Put your hands into the water
You can wash away the night

Days you hate yourself
Wish you were someone else
Yearn for life to pass you by
They will disappear
And your mind will clear
If you can only hold the line

You know the sun must cast its shadow
The fire keeps our breath alight
So put your hands into the water
And wash away the night

‘Cos you don’t have to make me happy
You don’t have to be the best
If you can hold yourself together
Then I will do the rest

When I look in your eyes
See that surprise
I know that regret
Can turn into light

The water rushes through
Washes over you
Cleanses everything you touch
And come the thunderstorm
We’ll keep each other warm
We don’t need so very much

You don’t have to make me happy
You don’t have to be the best
If you can hold yourself together
Then I will do the rest

‘Cos every day we have’s a blessing
The fire keeps us all alive
So put your hands into the water
And wash away the night
Put your hands into the water
And wash away the night
