ST.SWITHINS DAY
On 15 of july there’s a church festival commemorating St.Swithin; in popular belief, if it rains on this day it will continue raining for the next forty days…
With a broken heart I dedicate this song to the memory of my sister Myras son Kenneth who died tragically on Saturday 8th of March 2008 at the very young age of 33. May God rest his soul. If this song lifts your heart, I hope the positivity wings its way to Dublin to comfort my devastated sisters heart. Love and peace, Joe
People ‘round me complaining
Saying what the hell has come over me
Cats and dogs it’s been raining
But no umbrellas for you and me
We’re protected baby, we’re protected in love
On St.Swithins day
Let it rain on me
Let it rain all over me
Let it rain on me
Let it rain on me
People ‘round us are weary
Saying we’ve got most peculiar ways
When it rains we see clearly
You can keep you’re sun-shiny days
We’re protected baby, we’re protected in love
On St.Swithins day
Let it rain on me
Let it rain all over me
Let it rain on me
Let it rain on me
People seeking salvation
On board the ark of security
But when it rains revelation
We’ll walk naked down by the sea
We’re protected baby, we’re protected in love
On St.Swithins day
Let it rain on me
Let it rain all over me
Let it rain on me
Let it rain on me
