I have a distinct memory of writing the main guitar riff of this song mere hours after learning how to play a pentatonic scale. It still gets stuck in my head sometimes. This one was always hard to play live because Cale was the only one who could play the piano part in the bridge. We had to set up a keyboard behind the drum kit so he could switch instruments as quickly as possible.
lyrics
I stood on the edge of winter and looked toward spring
To warmer days and sun shining
But the clouds rolled in, a storm is coming
You were always there
Once dead but never gone
You said, let's run but just for fun
Two hearts on different sides of the storm
If you don't believe
Don't make it out to be easy
If you don't believe
I'll show you the best I can be
I never knew she'd be the lightning in my rain
Those April showers brough bitter pain
Teach me to dance, oh sweet Elaine
When you light the sky
I can see everything I hoped for
This weary road gets so much clearer
If you don't believe
Don't make it out to be easy
If you don't believe
I'll show you the best I can be
If you don't believe
If you don't believe
If you don't believe
If you don't believe
If you don't believe
Don't make it out to be easy
If you don't believe
I'll show you the best I can be
