Come In Out Of The Rain by The Acolytes.
From the EP "Three Versions" by Critical Error and Friends.
Come In Out Of The Rain was resurrected in 2016 when Rosie and her husband Midge formed The Acolytes with Mike Gilpin and Jo Hooper.
COME IN OUT OF THE RAIN
Mirrors on the wall
Reflect all of her lies
When she looks at his face
She knows what she's hiding inside
This is her new horizon
Too young to be so wise
Forsaken education
Her life cut down to size
And in motherhood she tries
To blind all of her lies
She's moving on from here
Travelling under the sky
Nothing's been easy
Since passion begun to rust
And the flame of lust wasn't trust but dust
And now she's dying inside
But it's alright to break down and cry
Yes it's alright to have tears in your eyes
Alright to ask yourself why
Come in out of the rain
Then came the fire
Burning so low
Out in the storm where she was afraid to go
Out in the fast lane, driving insane
Too young to compromise, too young to decide
And she asked for nothing, she got the pain
She asked for nothing and down came the rain
And it's falling down again
But it's alright to break down and cry
Yes it's alright to have tears in your eyes
Alright to ask yourself why
Come in out of the rain
And she's trying to find
Peace in her life and a meaning not a fight
Trying to find peace in her life
And a meaning not a fight
