It Will Follow the Rain Lyrics
Have you ever seen the far side of a mountain,
swallow the sky,
as you travel through the valley,
as you're speedin' still far behind,
through the valley where lovers climb,
Have you ever seen the locusts,
clean his wings right after a plague,
like descendin' of a dark cloud,
dim the sunlight to end the day,
to kill the sunlight to end the day,
yes, it will follow the rain,
Have you ever seen the quiet indecision of a man,
when he's standing by the fire,
with an eager friend in his hand,
oh, will he ever quite understand,
that it will follow the rain,
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain,
Have you ever seen your baby,
getting caught by the lonesome wind,
and the whistlin' around the corners,
telling you they have let her in,
separation can now begin,
yes, it will follow the rain,
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain,
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain,
Have you ever seen the far side of a mountain,
swallow the sky,
as you travel through the valley,
as your speedin' still far behind,
through the valley where lovers climb,
where the children will blink and sigh,
they have caught a lightning strike,
in a jar just to watch it die,
in the valley where lovers climb,
Yes, it will follow the rain,
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain.
swallow the sky,
as you travel through the valley,
as you're speedin' still far behind,
through the valley where lovers climb,
clean his wings right after a plague,
like descendin' of a dark cloud,
dim the sunlight to end the day,
to kill the sunlight to end the day,
yes, it will follow the rain,
when he's standing by the fire,
with an eager friend in his hand,
oh, will he ever quite understand,
that it will follow the rain,
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain,
getting caught by the lonesome wind,
and the whistlin' around the corners,
telling you they have let her in,
separation can now begin,
yes, it will follow the rain,
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain,
swallow the sky,
as you travel through the valley,
as your speedin' still far behind,
through the valley where lovers climb,
where the children will blink and sigh,
they have caught a lightning strike,
in a jar just to watch it die,
in the valley where lovers climb,
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain.

I think this song is about Moses leading the slaves out of egypt.
Have you ever seen the quiet indecision of a man, when he's standing by the fire, with an eager friend in his hand, oh, will he ever quite understand, -(Moses was in the desert when God came as a fire and gave him a staff "an eager friend". He thought he was going crazy and didnt believe at first thus the "indecision of a man.")
Have you ever seen the locusts, clean his wings right after a plague, like descendin' of a dark cloud, dim the sunlight to end the day, to kill the sunlight to end the day,
Have you ever seen the far side of a mountain, swallow the sky, as you travel through the valley, as your speedin' still far behind, through the valley where lovers climb, where the children will blink and sigh, they have caught a lightning strike, in a jar just to watch it die, in the valley where lovers climb, -( I think the "Far side of the Mountain, swallow the sky" is talking about when moses parted the Red Sea for all the women and children to pass through and escape the egyptians.)
Have you ever seen your baby, getting caught by the lonesome wind, and the whistlin' around the corners, telling you they have let her in, separation can now begin, -(Moses' true mother set him adrift in a river for she couldnt take care of him, thus the "whistlin around the corners" -(is of the river)" and the "Separation can now begin" -(is the separation of the mother son relationship).
This song kicks ass
I'm getting the feeling some of Kristian Mattson's songs retell famous stories
I agree

If anyone sees any lyrical goofs please do point them out. :)
Not so sure what the meaning to the song is, but the video to it is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in a long time.
I'm not sure what the meaning to all his his songs are but two. Walk The Line and The Gardner are the only ones that really make sense to me.

Matsson's lyrics are definitely enigmatic and I think they can be interpreted many different ways. That being said, this song to me seems to be about the end of relationship and how, after the turmoil of the break-up, one learns to achieve happiness again.
I know that Kristian suffers from anxiety. Not that kind you get the morning after a night in the bottle or someting like that, but that one when your self-loathing is so great, you push dear ones away, and you blame yourself for every wrong in the world. It takes one, to know one. And his music is definitaly a steamer for his angst.
This song is obviously about a broken relationship.
The first part of a lyric is often the part that describes the predicament.
"Have you ever seen the far side Of a mountain swallow the sky As you travel through the valley And as your speedin' still far behind Through the valley where lovers climb"
It's pretty obvious in embrossment.
He's travelling toward to the far side of the mountain, and compares his realtionship with the climping of lovers. The fight for it to hold, though it does not hold, as he continues with an impressionistic description of the bitter end.
"Have you ever seen the locust Lean his wings right after a plague Like ascendin' of a dark cloud In the sunlight to end the day To kill the sunlight, to end the day"
But somehow, after every breakup there's some light, as in the end of the tunnel. Because we all know what's following the rain, don't we?
