When the Sun Dries the Rain
Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wishing you were here
Leaning on my shoulder
A heavy rain is closing in
Starring at the sky
Waiting for salvation
Another day will soon begin

When the sun dries the rain
And glitters through the trees
I'll gaze at you
With the winds you are gone my love

Watching how the shades
Linger in the morning
I can't escape the ghost of you
I can hear your voice
Calling in the distance
I know you're feeling lonely too

When the sun dries the rain
And glitters through the trees
I'll gaze at you
With the winds you are gone my love

But the trees will fall someday
So I must let you fade away
When the sun dries the rain

When the sun dries the rain
And glitters through the trees




I'll gaze at you
With the winds you are gone my love

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Evan's song "When the Sun Dries the Rain," the singer expresses a longing for a loved one who is not physically present but is still very much in their thoughts and heart. The opening lines convey a sense of yearning and wistfulness, with the singer imagining the comfort of having their loved one by their side, even as a heavy rainstorm approaches. The imagery of staring at the sky and waiting for salvation hints at a desire for hope and renewal.


As the song progresses, we see the singer reflecting on the bittersweet nature of memories and how they can linger like shadows, especially in the quiet moments of the morning. The mention of hearing the loved one's voice calling in the distance adds a layer of melancholy to the longing, suggesting a sense of connection despite physical separation. Both the singer and the loved one seem to be experiencing a sense of loneliness and longing for each other.


The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "When the sun dries the rain," symbolizes a metaphorical transformation or renewal that comes with time and healing. The imagery of the sun glittering through the trees conveys a sense of beauty and hope, but also acknowledges the inevitability of change and loss. The singer recognizes that, ultimately, they must let go and allow the memories of their departed love to fade away like leaves falling from trees.


The closing lines of the song poignantly capture the acceptance of loss and the acknowledgement that everything, including relationships, is transient. The singer plans to honor the memory of their love by gazing at them in the sunlight but acknowledges that they are gone with the wind. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the theme of acceptance and letting go, as the sun continues to dry the rain and life moves on despite the lingering traces of the past. Overall, "When the Sun Dries the Rain" is a heartfelt meditation on love, loss, and the passage of time.

Timeline of the crimes
In 2002, Annamma Thomas (aged 57), the mother-in-law of the accused, drank a glass of water after returning home from a walk. Immediately afterwards, she began to feel uneasy and dizzy, eventually collapsing on the floor. She was taken to the hospital where she later died, and the doctors declared that she had suffered a heart attack. In 2008, Tom Thomas (aged 66), Annamma's husband and Jolly's father-in-law, passed away after swooning and collapsing. Jolly Joseph was allegedly present at the spot on both occasions.

In 2011, Roy Thomas (aged 40), Jolly's then husband, died after consuming his dinner of puttu and chickpea curry. He was found dead in a bathroom which was locked from the inside. The cause of death was then ruled as suicide due to financial issues as the post-mortem report showed traces of poison. Roy's maternal uncle, Mathew Manjayadil, called for a post-mortem report and an inquiry into Roy's cause of death.

In 2014, Mathew (aged 68) swooned and died after Jolly allegedly gave him poison-laden whisky. The deceased Roy has a cousin named Shaju Zachariah. The same year, Shaju's two-year-old daughter, Alphine Shaju, died after "choking on food".

In 2016, Jolly allegedly gave Sily Shaju (aged 41), Alphine's mother, a mushroom capsule, which Jolly convinced Sily that it would help her with energy and depression and Sily died on the spot soon after.

In 2018, Rojo Thomas came down to Koodathayi and filed a series of RTI applications. From the government hospital, he received a copy of the autopsy report of his brother’s body. “When he read the report, he found out that what Jolly told us was wrong. Jolly told us he had food at 3.30 pm and hadn’t had food after that. But it was clear in the post-mortem report that he had rice and chickpeas curry at 8.30 pm,” said family friend Mohammad Bawa. “Acute cyanide poisoning can result in death in a matter of seconds. Cyanide does not accumulate in the body and so it is rare to encounter it in slow death cases,” explained Dr V V Pillay, head of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kochi.

@locojazzhands

She lied about having qualifications and lied about a job for 12 years. She had at least 2 lives and had affairs and relationships with her own family members. She's a pathological liar and can't be trusted. These people go to any lengths to get away with their lies. They are dangerous. Where is the money she got from the "job" and what was she really doing all day?

@Kayla-eh5fb

Now that you mention it, it is very fishy that she all of a sudden was a provider but had no job. Maybe she got inheritance money from her past victims and used that. But still, what was she doing all day for 12 years?

@ShiniGushi

​​@@Kayla-eh5fb they have a lot of property her both in laws were government workers so they got pension. She did not have to give her money which did not exist for anything and after annama's death she managed all finances. But still she had another appartment on rant in another city whuch nobody in the family knew about idk how she managed it and it is suspected that she went there in the disguise of being a professor at NIT to past time. She had a doublelife for sure to fund this money.

@jaitsadi-gee

Is it possible that, while she was allegedly going to work as a professor for 12 yrs., she was having OTHER affairs and getting money from these other men?

@Vedu2064

As much as I know by reading a lot of documentaries and watching the show curry and cyanide she actually used to go to NIT's canteen and used to set over there for hours

@dianaosazenaye1313
