Dry the Rain

The Beta Band

This is the definition of my life
Lying in bed in the sunlight
Choking on the vitamin tablet
Doctor gave in the hope of saving me
In the hope of saving me

Moths in the corner of the room
Junkyard fool with eyes of gloom
I asked him time again

Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain, the rain
The rain, the rain, the rain, the rain now

Dusty brown boots in the corner by the iron board
Spray on dust is the greatest thing
Sure is the greatest thing
Since the last, since the last

Moths in the corner of the room
Junkyard fool with eyes of gloom
I asked him time again

Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain, the rain
The rain, the rain, the rain, the rain now

I asked him time again

Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain, the rain
The rain, the rain, the rain, the rain now

If there's something inside that you wanna say
Say it out loud, it'll be okay
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light

If there's something inside that you wanna say
You can say it out loud, it'll be okay
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light

I need love
(Yeah), I need love

If there's something inside that you wanna say
Say it out loud, it'll be okay
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light

If there's something inside that you wanna say
Say it out loud, it'll be okay
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light

If there's something inside that you wanna say
Say it out loud, it'll be okay
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light

If there's something inside that you wanna say
Say it out loud, it'll be okay
I will be your light
I will be your light
I will be your light

    wow, i just read "high fidelity".. the bit at the beginning about going on the swings.. story of my life.. anyway, this song is on my BEST SONGS EVER list, so i thought i should comment. basically, it's this guy's voice.. it makes me want to lie down and listen to this song over and over and over. which i do. quite often. great slide guitar, too. :)

    my one friend believes that at some points during the "if there's something inside" part, the singer switches between "i will be yr light" and "i will be alright." i don't know.

    yes, actually it sounds like that. the first time is "i will be alright", he switches off and on during the second and third time, and the last time is "I will be alright".

    im scottish and so are the beta band and it sounds just like a scottish 'rugby' song - the guys voice just rocks and the continuity brings out the best in Scottish homebred music.
