Who Will Stop The Rain?

Who Will Stop The Rain?
(Geoff Downes / Johnny Warman / Jane Woolfenden)

This problem is insoluble 
The answers seem impossible 
The logic ceases to exist 
Emotion is the beat we miss 

I stand on a world 
Where dreams, realities, existence are the same 
We take from the mother's skin 
But the world is not to blame 

Who tells the wind which way to blow? 
I wonder who will stop the rain 
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know 
So who can stop the rain? 
We lost the path for all we know 
Now tell me when will it start again? 
And as the old man lifts his hands 
Please can you stop the rain? 

Stars fall far away 
Like they never did before 
new moon shining 
Like it never will again 

Who tells the wind which way to blow? 
I wonder who will stop the rain 
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know 
So who can stop the rain? 

Desert white cloud 
Spirits they sing 
Rain falls from the big sky 
Onto broken wing 

There is no sense in turning back 
To wash the debris from the track 
World without fears and without rhyme 
We fought for peace within our time 

Who tells the wind which way to blow? 
I wonder who will stop the rain 
We lost the path for all we know 
Please can you stop the rain?
