lyrics

THE RAIN POURED DOWN ON ME

I met you under Berlin lilac trees
English Spy falls for spandau queen
1944 and this war it never yields
Autumn leaves fall down gold & green

There's danger on the German radio
As the rain it poured down on me
It's crazy our dark hidden secret
But my love for you goes on and on

I kissed you but you seemed so uncertain
We talked by lanterns for hours in the twilight
I held your hand as we closed the curtains
As the bombs rained down all through the night

There's danger on the German radio
As the rain it poured down on me
It's crazy our souls in isolation
But your love for me goes on and on

I saw the rain as it bathed on your pretty face
I caught your eyes as they lit up the sky
Souls scream as the city burns to ash again
Sit in darkness as the sirens wail by

There's danger on the German radio
As the rain it poured down on me
It's crazy and it's so uncertain
But this war it goes on and on

Red Rains brought blood and flames
Red rains, red rains
This Rain Poured Down Again
Red rains, red rains
