When the rain comes I'll be walking
With the sunshine on my back
Ain't got no time for depression
I'm so happy (that's a fact)

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With no tear left in my eye
Cause I found out where I'm going
Now the water's (-- ?? --)

How does it feel when you're twisting in blue
(-- ?? --) singin different tunes
How can I listen, when I don't even care?
Now it's time to discover truth in eachother
Do you hear what I'm saying?

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With the sunshine on my back
Ain't got no time for depression
I'm so happy that's a fact

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With no tear left in my eye
Cause I found out where I'm going
Now the water's (-- ?? --)

What do you want?
I say what do you need?
Love is the answer
Now get it for free!

No need to worry
When your (scar's turning gray)
(with hearts/arms) open wide   
Come on inside
I'll take all your blues away

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With the sunshine on my back
Ain't got no time for depression
I'm so happy that's a fact

(solo)

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With no tear left in my eye
Cause I found out where I'm going
Now the water's (-- ?? --)

(voice)
Most people break down into tears when they get a death threat!
Because she's on television this makes some kind of a difference?

Rain come down!

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With the sunshine on my back
Ain't got no time for depression
I'm so happy that's a fact

When the rain comes I'll be walking
With no tear left in my eye
Cause I found out where I'm going
Now the water...........

Love Sculpture - mars (1970)

Great song,  really prefer this one to be much longer, nonetheless it blows me away!

                 

Love Sculpture was a British blues-rock band of the late 1960s, led by Dave Edmunds, plus bassist John Williams (born John David Williams, 19 January 1946, in Cardiff, Wales) and drummer Rob ‘Congo’ Jones (born Robert Jones, 13 August 1946, in Barry, South Wales).
They formed in Cardiff in 1966, and disbanded in 1970, although Edmunds went on to enjoy solo success in the 1970s. They are best known for their 1968 novelty hit, a cover version of the classical piece “Sabre Dance”, by Aram Khachaturian. Other songs included: “Land of the Few”, “Summertime” and “You Can’t Catch Me”.

Jim Holmberg is an American singer and songwriter. His only album, on which he was credited as Mij ("Jim" spelled backwards), was released by ESP Records in 1969, and has been described as "one of the best and strangest cosmic folk records of the 1960s".

Eventually released in September 1969, the record was not commercially successful, and Holmberg disappeared from view for several decades. He worked as an electronic and computer technician in the aerospace industry in California and also spent several years in Japan. Until the album was reissued by ESP in 2009, he was unaware of the fact that it had become a cult collectors' item.
