Lyrics
SWEET SUMMER RAIN
words & music by Grayson Hugh
Sweet summer rain
put out this fire
that burns deep
down in my chest
put out these flames
of my desire
wash away my dreams
and let me rest
Sweet summer rain
give me my freedom
before the sky
has turned to rust
unlock these chains
'cause I don't need 'em
help me leave
'cause leave I must
Take me down
down to the river
take me far away from here
for my love
she's gone forever
the love that I once held so dear
Sweet summer rain
for you I'm thirsting
come with your thunder
come cry for me
'cause my heart
it feels like bursting
and this grief
is killing me
Take me down
down to the river
take me far away from here
for my love
she's gone forever
the love that I once held so dear
Sweet summer rain
put out this fire
that burns deep
down in my chest
put out these flames
of my desire
wash away my dreams
and let me rest
wash away my dreams
and let me rest
wash away my dreams
and let me rest
sweet summer rain
