The Rain Came After

(verse 1)
Seventeen, it seems everything is sweeter
Skin like China roses
As he holds her so innocently

(pre-chorus)
Fingertips become lips
Their twisting desire
Jewel skies
In her eyes

(chorus)
Cherries on her dress and a four-leaf clover
The rain came after
Never would believe had somebody told her
The rain came after
The rain came after

(verse 3)
Strings and pearl-white orchids
They promise forever
Cello in the air
As the wind carries them away

(pre-chorus)
Fingertips become lips
Their twisting desire
Jewel skies
In her eyes

(chorus)
Cherries on her dress and a four-leaf clover
The rain came after
Never would believe had somebody told her
The rain came after
The rain came after

(La da da da) - repeat
The rain came after - repeat
