G
Titus was born
           F
Under the eye of a storm
            G
Rain water carried his bed
            F
Around the world and back again
             C
Oh all the things he did see
Em          D
Life is a dream
Am
Drifting at sea
              G
So hard to believe

         G
And so, Titus would grow
            F
Tall and strong as an oak
            G
Rainwater stuck in his head
                    F
It filled him with words left unsaid
             C                  Bm
Of all the things he might be, drifting at sea
    Am
At night he would dream
   C                      Bm
Of old storms at bay, to wash the pain away
       Am
Rain's falling
           C
Falling on you.

              G           Am
And the storm, it was driving
    Em       C
Washing away
          G                   Am          Em       C
All the trees on the island (Rain water, rain water)
        G                   Am             Em
In the eye there was a silence but he washed it away
C               G          Am
Crashing rocks by the sirens
                 D
It's falling on you

Em          D        D C  Em D C Em
rain water rain water
     D          C
Its falling on you

And the storm it was driving
Wash it away
All the trees on the island
Rainwater, rainwater
In the eye, there was a silence
But he washed it away
Crashing rocks by the sirens
It's falling on you
Rainwater, rainwater
Float on the infinite blue
While rainwater's falling on you
Falling on you...
