Whisper your name to me softly

Tell me your story my dear

Help me make sense of this madness, open your eyes, I am here

Time and the years have abused you, the lines on your face tell it plain

It’s shocking what one can get used to, oh sing with me, “never again.”

And oh, oh, Elizabeth, don’t fear the rain

Oh, sweet lady in my dreams I remember your name

And oh, oh, Elizabeth, don’t fear the rain

One day sweet lady your song, it will ring out again.

The first time I met you this sadness fell like a curtain too soon

Yet still I felt drawn to befriend you, to look through your eyes at the moon

And as we trade stories I find you so much stronger than you first appear

And a surprise this redemption is finding its way past my fear

And oh, oh Elizabeth, don’t fear the rain

Oh sweet lady in my dreams, I remember your name

And oh, oh, Elizabeth, don’t fear the rain

One day sweet lady your song, it will ring out again

So pray for us now, in our hour of need

And pray for these streets and the souls that they bleed

Pray for the ones who were there all along

And pray that this weakness will someday be strong…

Oh, oh, Elizabeth don’t fear the rain

One day sweet lady your song it will ring out again

Oh, oh Elizabeth shake off your chains

For one day sweet lady your song

One day sweet lady your love

One day sweet lady your life, it will ring out again.
