In cart Not available Out of stock

Rain or Shine, is an acoustic love letter - a folk ballad in with plenty of questions about the nature of love.

To Bob Dylan, the answer is Blowin' in the Wind. For The Beatles, All You Need is Love. Simon & Garfunkel erected a beautiful Bridge Over Troubled Water and Cat Stevens invited us aboard the Peace Train...

For Michael - indeed for anyone who takes this song to heart: each of us has within our grasp a magic wand of love, "to wave in wonder, Rain or Shine" - if only we will choose to use it.

Lyrics

Rain or Shine
by Michael Lyon

When the time is over
What is left behind
How to put it into words
The questions on my mind

What is ours remind me
Is it yours or mine
Or is love a magic wand
To wave in wonder
Rain or shine

Each loss a bolt of lightning
Besets a towering pine
Hope or fear
What to keep
What to leave behind

Once a heart is broken
Where does comfort lie
When a willing sky allows
A clearing for the sun to shine

Love is why we're living
How does that get lost
Faster than last summer left
And came the winter frost

Short our time together
Pictures in the drawer
There you'll find my mother's gaze
Too soon she left us wanting more

When the time is over
What is left behind
Well advised to blaze a trail
While we still have time

What is ours remind me
Is it yours or mine
Or is love a magic wand
To wave in wonder
Rain or shine
