The Angel Closes the Rain

I may have gone

A little soft in the brain

But I swear I still see it

The angel closes the rain

 

Even God has got to refrain

From causing us pain

When the angel closes the rain

So the angel closes the rain

 

At the end of time

The angel must close the king's reign also

And decides who has to

Poison the king

 

And God defers to the angel

Who closes the rain

In order to put an end

To all that pain

 

And the angel knows

It's harder to let them go

Than it was to hold them

So the angel closes the rain

 

Even God has got to refrain

From causing us pain

And the angel closes the rain

The angel closes the rain 

 But it's also possible that

The angel closes the rain

Because the angel forgot

To open the umbrella
