And "old man time" always pulls you through
It's better not to depend on the morning dew
For the rose you plant in your bed tends to you, hard and blue

Some folks take money, some take their life, some take forever to see
Blind faith, blind love, they're no mystery to me
You must take the time, for that's the fee

 Chorus:
It's worth the pain that makes the tears
It's worth the light of a million years
Only your love I can't explain, you are the flower for my rain

You light the sun that shines from my eyes
It's all in return for what you're givin' me
You are the reason for the earth beneath my feet
And you kill the space that I call free

chorus

(Instrumental break)

You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
