Strummindude - Madeleine Lyrics

Let those scattered drops of rainfall
On this parched and thirsty soil
Quench the anger and the longing
Fill the hollow in your soul

Once the joy and all the laughter
Was a river running wild
Now that stream is just a trickle
No contentment, not a smile

Feel the rain
Madeleine
Soothe the pain
Madeleine
Let it fall
Down on you
Wash the sorrows all away
Of me and you

All the toil and all the bruises
Don't let them go to waste
Keep your head up and be proud of
This poor land that we embraced

For yourself and for the young ones
Through it all you must go on
Though I couldn't be beside you
Though I couldn't carry on

Feel the rain
Madeleine
Soothe the pain
Madeleine
Let it fall
Down on you
Wash the sorrows all away
Of me and you

Lay beside the willow tree
The way we dreamed it ought to be
Where it always will be only you and me

For yourself and for the young ones
Through it all you must go on
Though I couldn't be beside you
Though I couldn't carry on

Feel the rain
Madeleine
Soothe the pain
Madeleine
Let it fall
Down on you
Wash the sorrows all away

Wash the sorrows all away
Of me and you
