The lyrics:

Your love is rain

My heart the flower

I need your love

Or I will die

My very life

Is in your power

Will I wither

And fade or bloom

To the sky

The rain can fall

On distant deserts

The rain can fall

Upon the sea

The rain can fall

Upon the flower

Since the rain

Has to fall

Let it fall on me
