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
