Still I Stay

(Karan Casey)


The storm it gathered itself today
High on the horizon it came my way
I could see the black approaching on the hill
And down inside I knew it was here to stay

So I searched in vain for that little bit of blue
I'm always pushing and trying too hard it’s true
I never know what is best to say
I never know what is best to do

Finally the rain came down
Finally the rain it came down
Today the rain it came down on me
Today the rain it came down on me

Still I always stay
Still I always stay

The voices they congregate in my head
They’ve started up early delighted to get that call
you're not good enough for him anyway
His family is pleased the glasses clinking in the hall

I don’t find any bird of paradise here
No wings of gold or no prayers to keep me wise
No little bird has come to visit my door
I guess you could say officially I’m grey

Finally the rain came down
Finally the rain it came down
Today the rain it came down on me
Today the rain it came down on me

Still, Still I always stay
Still I always stay
