Help Me Escape the Pouring Rain

Its dark dreary and lonely on this rainy afternoon
I wish there was sun and fun but they’re on their honeymoon
I turned on the television in my bedroom
The weatherman’s forecast was of course full of doom and gloom

We’ll I’ve lost my way and I cannot see
Can you bring me your light and stay close to me
Will you come to ease my inner pain
Help me escape the pouring rain

I walked out my front door hoping that at least it would be warm
But only to find a depressing cold damp thunderstorm
It was an experience I would not soon forget
It was to late to run so I just spread my arms and got wet

We’ll I’ve lost my way and I cannot see
Can you bring me your light and stay close to me
Will you come to ease my inner pain
Help me escape the pouring rain

It feels like I’ve been waiting here for you for years
Being drowned to death by gods tears
I need a ray of hope but without you it’s frightening
Then all at once I was struck by lightening

We’ll I’ve lost my way and I cannot see
Can you bring me your light and stay close to me
Will you come to ease my inner pain
Help me escape the pouring rain

So I lie here in agony to forever wait 
Then you came by to heal me it was just fate
It only took one look into your eye
To illuminate me with love and to open up a clear sky
