“The courtyard was empty, man; and I got to liking it that way.”
— Chris Colby
When the Rain Comes
WRITTEN BY: CHRIS COLBY
When the rain comes nobody ever wants to stick around
When the rain comes everybody always hits the ground
The sky can’t hold the weight of the world
And it’s a shame everyone goes inside
Because when the rain comes everybody knows
It’s best to check out the sky
When the rain comes
When the rains came all the king’s men went astray
The courtyard was empty man and
I got to liking it that way
When the weather clears up the moment truth
I hope that none of them ever come back
Because when the king dies the gold goes to no one
The inevitable stab in the back
When the rain comes
When the pain comes it's best to look it straight in the eye
When the pain comes it hurts just like
That push that went to shove
And I can’t answer for the heavens above
And it’s a shame there’s no use for my love
Because when the pain comes
It always seems to kill all the ones that we love
When the rain comes
