.
A misty shadow spread its wings
And covered all the ground
And even though the sun was out
The rain came pouring down
.
And all the light had disappeared
And faded in the gloom
There was no hope, no reasoning
This rainy day in June
.
The eagle spread its mighty wings
And pounced upon its pray
And all the skies, so brilliant blue
Turned suddenly to grey
.
The cherished things are perishing
And buried in their tomb
There is no hope, no reasoning
This rainy day in June
.
And everybody felt the rain
Everybody felt the rain
Everybody felt the rain
Everybody felt the rain
.
The demon stretched its crinkled hand
And snatched a butterfly
The elves and gnomes were hunched in fear
Too terrified to cry
.
The reckoning was beckoning
They're living to their doom
There was no hope, no reasoning
This rainy day in June
.
And everybody felt the rain
Everybody felt the rain
Everybody felt the rain
Everybody felt the rain
.
