˙Rain and tears — Aphrodiate's Child ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQyxCL1uMlU)
Rain and tears all the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
When you cry in winter time
You can't pretend it's nothing but the rain
How many times I've seen
Tear's coming from your blue eyes
Rain and tears all the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
Give me the moons of love
I need the moods of love
Rain and tears in the sun
For in your heart you feel the rainbow waves
Rain nor tears both rush home
For in her heart there'll never be the sun
Rain and tears all the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
