When your blue-grey eyes are cloudy
And there's no way to control
The rivers of saltwater
Down the windows to your soul
They say a problem shared's a problem
Torn in half again
I'll never steal your thunder
But I'll always steal your rain
I've always been the one to take
You've always seen me through
But time has come for giving back
So now I lend to you
Another pair of shoulders
For the burden of your pain
I'll never steal your thunder
But I'll always steal your rain
When life becomes a thunderstorm
That roars without relief
I'll take away your blackened clouds
As softly as a thief
So come into these open arms
And you'll find shelter here
Until the final drop has fallen
And the sky is clear
When you're all wet from head to foot
From all your weary woes
And drowning in your sorrows
From a cup that overflows
And all the heavens have to give
Falls mainly on your plain
You'll find me here beside you
To always steal your rain
