Before The Rain

Verse:
We rode the streetcar through St. Charles; we walked around the Vieux Carre;
We had some laughs; our share of quarrels; but still we made it through each day.
The traffic circled General Lee, two blocks west of Magazine;
Our whole world was you and me ... and those spaces in between.
Chorus:
But that was before the rain came down; before the waters rose around
Before promises made and lost; before we stopped to count the cost,
Before we had to face the pain of change and what remained; before the rain; before the rain.
Verse:
We watched the river roll along, from the levee down at Jackson Square;
And listened to that old, old song ... mix with the evening call to prayer.
The sunset air so full of jazz ... and gumbo drifting on the breeze;
Nothing could, and no-one has made my life feel so at ease...
Chorus:
But that was before the rain came down; before the waters rose around
Before promises made and lost; before we stopped to count the cost,
Before we had to face the pain of change and what remained; before the rain.
Bridge:
When the rain passed; we came back to begin ... the journey home and to build our lives again;
So many lessons we've had to learn; but we will find the strength to return ...
Chorus:
To those days before the rain came down; before the waters rose around
Before promises made and lost; before we stopped to count the cost,
Before we had to face the pain of change and what remained; before the rain.
