Jaswant's Rain Lyrics - Singles - Borrowers

There once was a girl who lived in a fairy tale 

A prince came along and gave her a golden veil 

He said you're a bird of painted glass 

And he took her in his grasp 

He brings the rain down 

He took her away 

Carried her off in the night 

Built her a cage to keep her from taking flight 

And when she tried to ask him why 

Storm clouds seemed to fill his eyes 

He brings the rain down 

Look at us now 

I've been wondering how you can live with yourself 

don't you see that your nightingale' s bleeding 

She took all of your rage and she's broken the cage 

and she's leaving 

We're birds made out of broken glass 

We glitter while the daylight lasts 

He brings the rain down
