I hate that I must leave to keep your safe
You know when I'm on the line and only your picture I can take
The pace that I will run to see your face
Time won't stop for me
I can't escape my written fate
And if we're lost, not found, like my, brothers before me
Heaven will gather the clouds and set us free
And we will be the rain on your tin roof
Falling from above
And we will be the light you're passing through
Connecting me to you
I got your letter written with a shaky hand
Telling me about our girls, and how they're old enough to stand
I'm not the man I was when I left
Coz I was hit but I got up
When brave friends were laid to rest
And if we're lost, not found, like my, brothers before me
Heaven will gather the clouds and set us free. Yeah!
And we will be the rain on your tin roof
Falling from above
And we will be the light you're passing through
Connecting me to you
And if I find myself in a dark place, with bullets overhead
I'll stop to remember your face, without your love I'd be dead
So we will be the rain on your tin roof
And I give my life for you
You hear footsteps on the driveway; it is a dream or is it truth?
Cause if I die I'll do it my way, after I spend my life with you
And we will hear the rain on our tin roof, while I'm lying next to you
And we will feel the light we're passing through, connecting me to you
And if I find myself in a dark place, with bullets overhead
I'll stop to remember your face, without your love I'd be dead
So we will hear the rain on our tin roof
And I owe my life to you
And I give my life for you
