Blue Rodeo - After the Rain Lyrics

If I had my way
I would never go back
With my back to wall
Just let myself fall
Watch the daytimes turn black
But now and again I find
You cross my mind

If I was a train
I would never slow down
With my head in the sky
And the world going by
Every nowhere town
As I write one more letter to you
Know I can't change the things that I do

Oh, one day
When you discover
Just why I ran
Ran away from you, lover
Well, I know I'm to blame
Feel so ashamed
Call out your name
Oh, after the rain

Well, what do you want me to do?
I've thrown away everything for you
Well, I've wasted my dreams
Each day it seems
Losing my way back to you

It's time for a change
What else can I do?
The clock ticking time
Better make up my mind
Is it me or is it you?
Yeah, tonight as I'm losing control
I will drink to the queen of my soul

Oh, one day
When you discover
Just why I ran, ran away
Ran away from you, lover
Well, I know I'm to blame
I feel so ashamed
Call out your name
Oh, after the rain

After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
...
