Forty Days of Rain

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
