Missy grew up in Queensland. She wrote this song after it rained every day for three months. Unfortunately, it didn't work, but we still like the song.
lyrics
Rain, rain, go away; come again another day,
I love you, but I need to be alone awhile.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder;
So they say, and so I'm telling you.
So won't you let me rest awhile, won't you let me catch my breath?
Won't you let me catch my breath, oh, won't you let me rest?
If a belly's full, you can't eat another dinner,
So let me fast, love, let me fast awhile.
And then when you return, oh, I'll be a hungry beggar,
I'll be a hungry beggar love, when I return to you.
I've never been this blunt before;
Can't you see, it hurts me so?
But you are hard with me, my love, I must be hard with you,
I must be hard with you, my love, for you are hard with me.
I love you like I love the rain,
But like a field, under deluge I can flood.
And there's no air under water, dear, that I can breathe while drowning;
No, I can't breathe while drowning for in water there's no air.
Rain, rain, go away; come again another day,
I love you, but I need to be alone awhile.
Red Grenadier (previously The Grenadiers) are a young Australian folk duo singing traditional and original songs that reach
across time and continents. Eerie but compelling harmonies, sometimes a cappella, sometimes accompanied by fiddle or guitar; some songs that speak to injustice, and some songs that are just darn pretty....more
