The Rains

by Marcus Bornstein

Composed in 2018.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Won’t you tell me, if or when we’ll ever see those rains again. 

I’ll wait for you at the main bus station with a coffee cup full of patience 

I’d sing to you and ease your worries 

I’d stick with you like sweet sweet honey 

You’d show me your new lines when

I’d come home that would ease my mind 

CHORUS

I wish I could see the rains again, 

I want to live like we did back then, 

All I can do is fantasise, 

I want to change the clocks,

I want to turn back time

Verse 2

Those dark clouds hanging over our heads left us in the streets drenched and wet

And in the heart of the central plaza the fountain flowed as the rains came harder 

We found love there right from the start, 

I never thought we we’d ever break apart

But when the rains stopped our love tell through 

I didn’t want to say good-bye to you 

CHORUS

About Melbourne Tune collection

Melbourne Tune Collection records and publishes original folk tunes and songs from around Australia.

I started this project after realising that I barely knew any Australian folk tunes, even though I’ve been playing the fiddle for almost two decades. It wasn’t that Australians weren’t writing tunes, it’s just that there was limited publishing opportunities for them.

I thought maybe if I collect these tunes and put them together, they would have a better chance of getting played. So in early 2019 I set off with my camera and recorder, first around Melbourne, then across Australia.

This site is the result of these travels. Its purpose is to make Australian folk music as accessible as possible and promote the incredible music that’s being written today. I genuinely believe that there’s something special happening in the Melbourne and Australian folk music scenes right now.

I hope you enjoy playing through these tunes as much as I have!
