When the Rains Come
Verse 1
In the wind and the heat
As my hopes start to fade
In the desert haze, you’re always looking for shade –
Looking for the shade.
Verse 2
And it’s hot under my feet
Hardly a breath of air
But then the clouds build, and I realise you care –
Now you’re there.
Chorus 1
When the rains come – I can’t help but think of you
When the rains come – I am drenched in my love for you.
Verse 3
In the vast, open plain
You can feel completely alone.
Without your love, I’m as dry as a bone
Dry as a bone.
Chorus 2
When the rains come – I can’t help but think of you
When the rains come – I am drenched in my love for you.
Bridge
I can’t help but think of you
You’re like a light on the hill
I can’t help but think of you
Every time when it rains.
I can’t help but think of you
I can’t help but think of you.
Repeat Chorus
I can’t help but think of you
I can’t help but think of you
When the rains come, I think of you.

On the Day of the Sun (Sunnandæg)
Verse 1
I’m staring at my feet
At the shadow of defeat
Where my hopes have run -
Have run aground.
It’s a quiet place
Here behind my face
On the Day of the Sun.
Chorus 1
All my life I’ve been mistreated
The change is now completed
My coffee has grown cold!
All the world is going backwards
My legs don’t take me forwards
My words becoming bold!
Verse 2
I’m blinded by the light
In the dark of night
When day is done -
Is done and gone.
I need this quiet place
Here behind my face
On the Day of the Sun.
Repeat Chorus 1
…On the Day of the Sun.
Chorus 2
All my life I’ve been mistreated
The change is now completed
My coffee’s just so old!
All the world is going backwards
My legs don’t take me forwards
My words becoming bold!
Verse 3
It is time tonight
To turn from the light
To find this space -
Behind my face.

Turning away from the light
Verse
Lurking in the dark,
Like a shadow…in the cold and the rain.
Moving through the void,
An apparition -
Wrapped in dullness and pain.
Chorus 1
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
Time to turn away.
Chorus 2
Turn away, turn away from the light
Turn away, turn away from the light
Turn away, turn away from the light
Time to turn away.

Mistreated
Verse 1
It came out of nowhere
Like a thief in the night
How strange it was in those early days
Until it started taking over, taking over all of our lives
Over everything I see
Then you and me…
Chorus 1
And I feel we’re all mistreated
But I don’t know why.
Verse 2
So now we’re deep in it
You’d better believe it
It’s all we seem to know, these days.
Though we all crave for an ending
There’s none that I see
For you and me…
Chorus 2
And I feel we’re all mistreated
But I don’t know why
And I feel we’ve all been mistreated
But I don’t know why.

Take it from Me
Verse 1
Why don’t you take it from me?
Take my sympathy…
Why don’t you take it from me?
(Did you note my empathy?)
Chorus 1
I don’t know how you’re feeling
but you seem to be so sad…so sad.
I only know how I feel -
All alone and bad.
Verse 2
Why don’t you take it from me?
Take my sympathy…
Why don’t you take it from me?
(I’m known for my chivalry.)
Chorus 2
I don’t know how you’re feeling
but you seem to be so sad…so sad.
I only know how I feel
I only know it seems unreal
You don’t know how much guilt I feel
Why don’t you take it from me?
Verse 3
Why don’t you take it from me?
Take my sympathy…
Why don’t you take it from me?
(I mean it honestly.)
Repeat Chorus 2
Verse 4
Why don’t you take it from me?
My threadbare sympathy…
Why don’t you take it from me?
(In a perfect symmetry.)
Chorus 3
I don’t know how you’re feeling
but I know it’s pretty bad…my bad.
I only know how I feel
I only know it seems unreal
You don’t know how grateful I feel
As you just take it from me.
Ending
You don’t know how blessed I feel
You simply take it from me!

JB Fairfield Brisbane, Australia
JB Fairfield is my solo musical project.
As a solo artist I find inspiration in many places - from
medieval music to the present - and across prog, electronic, classical, psychedelic and post rock genres.
Various haphazard (and surprising) combinations of these styles occur as I try to understand myself and my world through the magic of music!
