Queen of Rain
Roxette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In that big big house there are fifty doors
and one of them leads to your heart.
In the time of spring I passed your gate
and tried to make a start.
All I knew was the scent of sea and dew
but I've been in love before,
how about you?
There's a time for the good in life,
a time to kill the pain in life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain

In that big house there are fifty beds
and one of them leads to your soul.
It's a bed of fear, a bed of threats,
regrets and sheets so cold.
All I knew your eyes so velvet blue,
I've been in love before, how about you?

There's a time for the good in life,
a time to kill the pain in life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain

It's time to place your bets in life,
I've played the loser's game of life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain





Time went by as I wrote your name in the sky,
fly fly away, bye bye.

In that big big house, there are fifty doors
And one of them leads to your heart
In the time of spring I passed your gate
And tried to make a start
All I knew was the scent of sea and dew
But I've been in love before, how about you?
There's a time for the good in life
A time to kill the pain in life
Dream about the sun
You queen of rain
In that big old house there are fifty beds
And one of them leads to your soul
It's a bed of fear, a bed of threats
Regrets and sheets so cold
All I knew your eyes so velvet blue
I've been in love before, how about you?
There's a time for the good in life
A time to kill the pain in life
Dream about the sun
You queen of rain
It's time to place your bets in life
I've played the loser's game of life
Dream about the sun
You queen of rain
(Instrumen)
Time went by as I wrote your name in the sky
Fly fly away, bye bye
It's time to place your bets in life
I've played the loser's game of life
Dream about the sun
You queen of rain
Dream about the sun
You queen of rain
Dream about the sun
You queen of rain
Dream about the sun
You queen of rain

Cancer is a bitch she was not all yet to leave and btw...Not all souls find peace after leaving the body (but people authomatically believe they do whoever they are), if she repents of her living wrongs and recognizes God as her soul creator and savior she will find that peace, nobody actually knows what was her relationship with God no matter how succesful her career was that's a different story. HOPE SHE IS WITH LORD I was raised back in the 80s with these two Marie and Per and today I am doing covers of the band in Argentina. Roxette number one sweedish band to the eyes of the world.
