BEFORE THE RAIN CAME

    A lighthearted folksy reflection of how the sunshine of your love can be so quickly obsured by clouds, then washed away in a torrential downpour of change..

     

about

There are times and places we visit in our lives when we are able to see every star and galaxy in the universe. Such a blinding & luminescent love, but eventually obscured by darkening clouds.. and then the rain comes falling down...

Listen closely, and you can hear ERIC STERN express his undying love for me just before the song begins, and his signature laugh at the end.. We had the juice!

lyrics

“BEFORE THE RAIN CAME”

Wonder what you would say, if we met just yesterday?
Before the rain came, we could find a way…
Roses are red, violets blue..
We were young and love was new..
Before the rain came, black & white turned gray..
Before the rain came, I had some things to say..

Look in the mirror for someone to blame,
We don’t need more pain or shame..
Judge us wrong or right, you know it’s true.
Dark clouds rising in the sky, tears fall gently from our eyes..
Friends that care and share are rare and few…
Baby you had me and I had you…
I got too close to the flame…
then the rain came…

I felt so blessed today, I knew that we should’ve sailed away..
Before the rain came, now hope’s become dismay..
I could’ve traveled ‘round the world, I could’ve had me another girl..
Before the rain came, now I’ve lost my way..
Before the rain came, I had some things to say..

As the rain came falling down..
And the rain came falling down..
Yea the rain came falling down, down, down…
While the rain came falling down…

about

Charles "Chaz" Laughon aka Chaze Lounge Wilmington

I've posted some barely adequate recordings here, many bad writer's renditions, of a few songs I've written in my life. Most of my songs never recorded, likely never will be. No matter, just mutterings to myself. I'm a lyricist who believes that language is a dog chasing it's tail. Didn't immerse into human life as I probably should've, or perhaps I immersed too much. The dark births the light. ... more
