Wash Away The Rain (song lyrics) [folk rock ballad]

[folk rock ballad. melissa etheridge. sheryl crow.]

There’s a sunshine deep within you
So spotless, real, sublime and pure
That’s cluttered by your darkest baggage
Tucked deep within you, remote and obscure.

You try to open up your window
You get cut deeply by the pane
If the sunlight touches your eyes, baby
Will it wash away the rain…

**

Left behind, alone, discarded
Licking wounds that you wish would heal
Somebody you thought you were close to
Left for a bigger… much better deal.

Look to the sunlight – see it shining
Release all of your darkest pain
Let it warm you, let it soothe you
Let it wash away the rain.

**

The rain comes down
You can’t deny it
The truth is written in your eyes.

No one may see
No one does know it
No one can hear your silent cries.

The sun comes out, though
Maybe you’ll try it
You could feel whole again.

You have to open
Up the window
And just wash away your rain.
