Dance Between the Raindrops
© John Drakes 2001
“Small problems in relationships are like raindrops. You can dance between them. But when the raindrops gang up, they become a storm. To avoid this emotional storm you have to run. You may not be able to be with someone, but can still love them for the rest of your life.”
Though I can’t be near you
You’re always on my mind
Not a day goes I don’t wonder
What I left behind
The journey that was broken
Reasons I don’t know
But I just couldn’t stay
I had to go
CHORUS:
So dance between the raindrops
But run before the storm
These words I give with all my love
To keep you safe from harm
Down in disillusion
Deeper by the day
The storm that brings confusion
Made me lose my way
So my heart is calling
And I am lost in tears
That I will never know
The stolen years
CHORUS:
So dance between the raindrops
But run before the storm
These words I give with all my love
To keep you safe from harm
BRIDGE:
Still that empty feeling
Haunts me from afar
Time can be for healing
But I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
Where you are
Lessons learned in losing
A heavy price we pay
Love was made for bruising
It’s always been that way
So the days are passing
And I cannot pretend
That this broken heart
Will ever mend
CHORUS:
So dance between the raindrops
But run before the storm
These words I give with all my love
To keep you safe from harm
