Out Of The Rain
Patricia Kaas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been so long where the sun don't shine
Standing at the cross-roads, could have went either way
But now I've found you and the storm is behind
Out of the rain, out of the rain
Over the wall, I'm out in the open
You took a sparrow and let it fly with the eagles
I can see a long ways I feel love again
Out of the rain, out of the rain
There was a time I was taking no prisoners
Standing with a cold hear, standing alone
It took your sweet love to pull me out of the canyon
I believe I can make it now, I feel like I belong
Out of the rain, out of the rain
Out of the rain, out of the rain
