Rain And Tears
Demis Roussos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain and tears are the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
When you cry in winter time
You can pretend
It's nothing but the rain
How many times I've seen
Rain and tears are the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
Give me an answer God
Sign me an answer God
Rain and tears both are shown
But in my heart there'll never be a sun
Rain and tears are the same
But in the sun you've got to play the game
The song "Rain and Tears" by Demis Roussos is a melancholic tune about the duality of life. The lyrics speak about how rain and tears are the same, both representing sadness and sorrow. However, in the sun, you have to play the game, meaning that you have to put on a brave face and pretend everything is okay. The line "Give me an answer God, sign me an answer God" is an appeal for divine guidance during difficult times.
The song also highlights the pain of a broken relationship. The line "How many times I've seen tears running from your blue eyes" suggests that the singer has been witness to someone's heartbreak. The final lines of the song reveal a particularly bleak outlook, "Rain and tears both are shown, but in my heart, there'll never be a sun." This ending implies that the singer's heart will remain forever broken, and that true happiness is unattainable.

Rain and tears are the same
But in the sun
You've got to play the game
When you cry in winter time
You can pretend
It's nothing but the rain
How many times I've seen
Tears coming from your blue eyes
Rain and tears are the same
But in the sun
You've got to play the game
Give me an answer of love
I need an answer of love
Rain and tears in the sun
But in your heart
You feel the rainbow waves
Rain and tears both I shun
For in my heart
There'll never be a sun
Rain and tears are the same
But in the sun
You've got to play the game

When I first heard of this beautiful song, I was 16 at a party! The song touched the bottom of my heart and I fell in love with it ever since! And now I’m 60! Rain n Tears is by far the greatest and the most beautiful sad song in this century Tears would cloud up my eyes when I listen to it over and over; its so powerful that it brings back a lot of memories, love and feelings I had been through! Thank you Demis RIP 💖🌷
