When it Rains
Love's Deluge: Embracing Life's Torrents in Sam Polwart's 'When it Rains'
Lyrics
I thought I met you two or three times before
I believed I encountered you a few times in the past
or was it more
Uncertainty about the number of previous meetings
Same damn color hair, birth year
Similar hair color and birth year
I don't care anymore
Indifference towards these details now
I'd given up, I admit, I'd hit ground floor
I had given up and hit rock bottom
But love has a way so they say
Love, however, has a transformative influence
When it rains it
Interruption, leading to anticipation
It pours
Expression of abundance during rainy times
When it rains it pours
Reiteration of the impact of rain on life
I thought I'd met the one I love to amour
Belief in meeting the ideal love
Same initials and a forest name of a father in law
Commonalities in initials and familial ties
When you're mad you admit
Admission of uncertainty during anger
You weren't so sure
Doubts expressed even in moments of frustration
But love has a way so they say
Love's transformative influence reiterated
When it rains it
Interruption, emphasizing the impact of rain
It pours
Repetition of the idea of abundance during rain
When it rains it pours
Reiteration of the transformative impact of rain
Love has a way they say
Love's influential nature emphasized
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours
Repetition of the idea that rain brings abundance
Love has a way they say
Reiteration of love's transformative power
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours
Continued emphasis on the impact of rain
Love has a way they say
Further emphasis on love's transformative influence
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours
Continued repetition of the idea of rain's impact
It pours
Final reinforcement of abundance during rain
When it rains it pours
Closing reiteration of the transformative power of rain
