Rain came down on this town
'Cause I know what goes up come down
Summer's bees they scattered and run
Trying to catch the sun

When summer's dreams are all ending
Well, then I was ascending
From away cross the winter sky
To where all the free birds fly

This is life, this is real
When summer's dark, take all they can steal
So you bring the wine, I'll bring the wood
For winter's fire

Baby
When you're not around, baby

Fishermen sail out, cross wind and foam
Candle burnin' in their home
Just to guide them in
For the warmth of their love again

And harsh wind blows down on the street
With no new faces to meet
Know they're the faithful few
Who see the winter through

This is life, this is real
When summer's dark, take all they can steal
So you bring the wine, I'll bring the wood
For winter's fire

So rain came down on this town
'Cause I know what goes up come down
Summer's bees they scatter and run
Trying to catch the sun

Summer's dreams have all ended
Well, then I was ascending
From away cross the winter sky
To where all the free birds fly
