Forty Days Of Rain Lyrics - Seven Dials - Roddy Frame

In the spring, when this thing began 

I was down, a dying man 

And as I died and decayed 

I pushed her away 

Saying "Why don't you stay"? 

Days turned to dust, my heart ran dry 

A compromise was a tooth for an eye 

I was under a spell 

How could I tell the truth from the lies 

And could this wretch really be restored? 

I went out west and the rain it poured 

And there appeared a king 

And he held his sword over me 

Forty days of rain 

Washed it away, washed it away 

I knew I'd never be the same again 

I was lost but I'm found, lost but I'm found 

And until I felt the joy in the pain 

I used to pray for the sun 

To turn night into day 

Now I kneel and feel the frost on the ground 

And I rise and I pray 

I kind of had a bad idea 

I slipped into my deepest fear 

My room 101, the end of the run 

The worst thing I'd ever done 

I couldn't get the pin back in 

Where did it end and where did I begin 

I tried to call it a day, day after day 

And could this wretch really be restored 

I went out west, seeking for the sun 

And the rain it poured 

Forty days of rain 

Washed it away, washed it away 

I knew I'd never be the same again 

I was lost but I'm found, lost but I'm found 

And until I felt the joy in the pain 

I used to pray for the sun 

To turn night into day 

I found forgiveness on the back of a bay 

And I rise and I pray 

Cos I was lost but I'm found 

I was lost but I'm found
