About Rain

"Rain" is a song by British synthpop duo Erasure. It is the third single from Erasure's eighth studio album, Cowboy (1997). Mute Records distributed the single on CD and vinyl in the UK and Europe. Some releases, titled Rain Plus, had so many remixes and live recordings, that the number of the tracks and their combined running-time made Rain Plus ineligible for ranking on the UK Singles Chart.

What is there to do?, only rain, 
Falling down from the sky
Only me and you, fair and plain
Nothing lost and nothing gained

Only the love nothing more nothing less comes between us
Temperature`s rising, my passion is burning inside

My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light , same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy

Only rain
I won`t settle for less, but no regret
See myself in your own reflection (see myself in your reflection)
Something in your eyes that tells me why
I`m a fool for your warm affection (i`m a fool for your affection)

Only the love, nothing more, nothing less comes between us
Temperature`s rising, my passion is burning inside

My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light , same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy

Only rain
(you are my, my one true, my world in light)
(you are my, my one true, my world in light)

My world in light saving all as one
A love that no one can deny
My one true light , same for everyone
A love we dare you to defy
