Here's That Rainy Day
Mark Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here

The character in the song is surprised by the turn of events, indicating that life can be unpredictable and that one must learn to cope with the unexpected. The rainy day symbolizes the difficult times in life that one must face, often alone, and without any warning.

Line by Line Meaning
Maybe I should have saved those left over dreams
Perhaps I should have kept those abandoned aspirations
Funny, but here's that rainy day
It's ironic that the day I was warned about has come
Here's that rainy day they told me about
This is the exact day that was predicted to be filled with trouble
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
I found it amusing that things would take a bad turn
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
What happened to the hope I gave up on
After it brought my lover near
When it led my sweetheart into my life
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Love can turn into a difficult, uncomfortable time
Funny, that rainy day is here
Ironically, that difficult time has arrived
