Someplace to Come When It Rains
Love's Shelter: Embracing the Rain in Hidden Moments
Lyrics
The lady you see me with now and again in this dimly lit hideway place
The woman accompanying the singer is seen sporadically in a low-lit, concealed location.
With eyes deep as midnight and smooth golden skin
Describes the woman's captivating eyes and smooth, golden skin.
And that warm look of love on her face
The woman exhibits a warm expression of love on her face.
And you say ain't he lucky just look at those eyes
Others perceive the singer as fortunate due to the woman's appealing eyes.
She's worth any price you can name
She is deemed valuable, seemingly beyond any monetary measure.
And you think that she's mine but you don't realize
People mistakenly assume she is the singer's, not realizing his true role.
I'm just someplace to come when it rains
The singer is merely a refuge for the woman during rainy times.
Someplace to hide when she's tired of the ride just someone to soften my pain
He is a place for her to seek solace when she's weary of the journey, easing his own pain.
Lord knows where she plays on her warm sunny days
Uncertain of her whereabouts on sunny days, the singer remains a rainy day retreat.
I'm just someplace to come when she can't find the sun
He's the destination when she cannot find joy or brightness.
Just someplace to come when it rains
Repeated emphasis on being a refuge for her during rainy times.
The lady she dances so close in your arms you swear she can float you away
The woman dances intimately, creating a feeling of being lifted away in your arms.
And gives you the feeling you're safe from all harm
Her embrace provides a sense of safety from harm.
Just as long as she holds you that way
The safety remains as long as she holds you in a particular way.
And I can't say it's wrong cause I've known all along
The singer acknowledges the unconventional nature but defends it as not inherently wrong.
That her lovin' is worth all the pain
The pain associated with her love is deemed worthwhile.
So whenever she leads I'll be there when she needs someplace to come when it rains
He commits to being there whenever she needs a refuge during rainy times.
Someplace to hide when she's tired...
Reiteration of being a hiding place when she is tired, mitigating the singer's pain.
