The first Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far And to the earth it gave a great light And so it continued both day and night Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel Born is the King, yeah The first Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel Born is the King of Israel

When the rain comes it seems that everyone has Gone away When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't Find someplace To run and hide Escape the pain But hiding's such lonely thing to do (Chorus) I can't stop the rain From falling down on you again I can't stop the rain But I will hold you 'til it goes away When the rain comes you blame it on the things That you have done When the storm fades you know that rain must fall On everyone So rest awhile It'll be alright No one loves you like I do (Chorus) (x2) When the rain comes I will hold you

Everything is quiet since you're not around And I live in the numbness now In the background I do the things we did before I walk Haight Street to the store And they say where's that crazy girl You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more I don't see you anymore since the hospital The plans I make still have you in them Cause you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel for you I only know because I carry you around In the background I'm in the background Words they come and memories all repeat I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets And I would never lie to you no I would never lie to you no I felt you long after we were through, we were through The plans I make still have you in them Cause you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel for you I only know because I carry you around In the background Cause I felt you long after we were through Well you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words Like I always used to do The words they use so lightly I only feel to you I only know because I'm way I'm way in the background I'm in the background
