Edinburgh Rain from The Flood by Wayward Jane

Edinburgh Rain

Oh Edinburgh Rain
Fall down again
Skyline great and grey please have a care
and hear my prayer

I’ve known these precious tears
For many a year
Familiar forms but nothing’s as it seems
You're full of dreams

CHORUS:
Breaking sky in sweet release
Bring the troubled soul some peace
Healing is the heart that grieves
And freedom’s in the glistening leaves

I hear a lonely note
That echoes in the stones
I won’t deny the shadows and the bones
That haunt this home

But oh river of time
Tonight you’re filled with wine
Never want to sober up just let me dive
Into your light
Into your light
Into your light

CHORUS

And I dream of being free
Flowing with the breeze
The dapple of the dusk on the hazel leaves
And the rolling seas

Sometimes they say
That you’re proud and cold and grey
But I have seen your smile and your box of paints
And your bar room saints

CHORUS

Oh Edinburgh Rain
Fall down again
Oh Edinburgh Rain
Wash my blues away
