I looked up from my glass into the sky
There's no one in my comic book to buy
Calendar swung on the wall held by a rusty nail
Down came the strange rain and washed my thoughts away
So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colors before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and gray
Settled on the window pane
So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colors before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and gray
Settled on the window pane
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like a strange rain
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like a strange rain
Still I sit beside the fire and watched it as it fell
Come in colors from above into my citadel
My eyes are all embroidered in rainbow you have made
And now it seems as though it's just, just like strange rain
So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colors before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and gray
Settled on the window pane
So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colors before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and gray
Settled on the window pane
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like a strange rain
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like a strange rain
So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colors before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and gray
Settled on the window pane
So stop in the sky and tell me why
You're changing your colors before my eyes
Yellow, blue, green and gray
Settled on the window pane
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like a strange rain
It made the rain that came seem strange
Just like a strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
Just like strange rain
