POEM: "Rains Against The Machine"



Rains Against The Machine

                                           for Dashushu


Sweet dreams in the rain tonight
Tomorrow will bring joy
Who needs sunshine when there are showers
Who needs the moon when there is love
Sometimes it rains against the machine
Sometimes it's the machine that wins
A good day follows a good night
The showers end and sunshine comes again.

  1. Rains Against The Machine

    for Dashushu

    Sweet dreams in the rain tonight
    Tomorrow will bring joy
    Who needs sunshine when there are showers
    Who needs the moon when there is love
    A good day follows a good night
    The showers end and sunshine comes again.

    Sometimes it rains against the machine
    And sometimes it’s the machine that wins

    But a good night follows a good day
    And now is the time for happiness
    Who needs the daylight when there is love
    And who needs a moon when it’s raining
    All I want is your embrace
    And a good day that follows the night

    Sometimes it rains against the machine
    And sometimes it’s the machine that wins

    Sweet dreams in the rain tonight
    And all I need is your embrace
    What more is there than an arm and a leg
    A sweet face and a sweet hope and a snore
    The storm ends and the sun comes again
    And a good day that follows the night

    Sometimes it rains against the machine
    And sometimes it’s the machine that wins
