Life's Pain

Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)




 Life's Pain

A:    Do not cry from your pain
B:    Running from your past
A:    Listen now, confidence, your heart will gain

A:    Running through the pouring rain
B:    Because you know he will not last
A:    Now I fear I am going insane

A:    Do not cry from your pain
B:    You will not lose him, your living in the past
A:    Listen now, confidence, your heart will gain

A:    Do not fear, you're going in the rain
B:    Living and dying shall not last
A:    For you will have confidence to gain

A:    I run and run trying to get out of the rain
B:    Running hiding and trying to dodge our past
A:    the ground I tread on, I seldom feel the pain

A:    My life is ending and my conscious is beating on by the rain
B:    It's over no matter what, it all happened at last
A:    I ran and ran trying to get out of the rain
A:    I hid, hid from it all, hid from all your pain
