Dance in the Rain (v2)

[Verse 1]

Rain taps hard on the market tin

You pull me close with a laughing grin

Red scarf tied to the mango tree

Whole block moving like a family

Shoes splash gold through the roadside stream

Your blue shirt bright as a summer dream

Auntie’s kettle sings by the gate

Nobody cares if we’re running late

[Pre-Chorus]

Come closer, don’t hide away

The clouds brought drums for us today

One step left, then turn to me

Let the whole road set you free

[Chorus]

Dance in the rain, dance in the rain

Clap your hands till the sky breaks again

Dance in the rain, shoulder to shoulder

Laugh so loud, make the wet night warmer

Hey, hey, let your worries go

Hey, hey, let the good times roll

Dance in the rain, dance in the rain

This little street will remember our names

[Verse 2]

Plantain smoke curls over the crowd

Little girls singing brave and loud

Uncle’s old speaker starts to crack

Still every heartbeat answers back

Your white sneakers skip through a puddle

I lose my balance, we laugh in a huddle

Drums from the corner pull us near

Rain on our faces, music in our ears

[Pre-Chorus]

Come closer, don’t hide away

The clouds brought drums for us today

One step left, then turn to me

Let the whole road set you free

[Chorus]

Dance in the rain, dance in the rain

Clap your hands till the sky breaks again

Dance in the rain, shoulder to shoulder

Laugh so loud, make the wet night warmer

Hey, hey, let your worries go

Hey, hey, let the good times roll

Dance in the rain, dance in the rain

This little street will remember our names

[Bridge]

If the power goes, we still have fire

If the night runs long, we climb higher

Pass that smile from hand to hand

Make a celebration where we stand

[Dance Break]

Oh na-na, move your feet

Oh na-na, feel that heat

Rain come down, we don’t slow

Everybody let the whole thing flow

[Dance Break]

Oh na-na, move your feet

Oh na-na, feel that heat

Rain come down, we don’t slow

Everybody let the whole thing flow

[Final Chorus]

Dance in the rain, dance in the rain

Clap your hands till the sky breaks again

Dance in the rain, shoulder to shoulder

Laugh so loud, make the wet night warmer

Hey, hey, let your worries go

Hey, hey, let the good times roll

Dance in the rain, dance in the rain

This little street will remember our names

[Outro]

When the morning finds the road washed clean

I’ll still hear your laugh in the silver sheen

Dance in the rain, my love, remain

Meet me where the music starts again
