Rainy Day Lover

from Manhood Method Actor by John Flanagan

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Award-winning songwriter John Flanagan has been praised for his authentic, heartfelt storytelling and uplifting performances. His forthcoming album Manhood Method Actor brings to life the soulful folk-rock sound of the 70s, taking inspiration from the likes of Jackson Browne, CSNY, Bonnie Raitt and Van Morrison. Lyrically the album traverses various landscapes of masculinity and relationships with themes of love, conflict, parenthood and coming of age. With soaring harmonies, powerful horn melodies, a grooving rhythm section and Flanagan’s warm, stirring vocals: the album draws the listener through moments of infectious joy, glimpses of touching sadness and everything in between.

lyrics

Don’t you take your love away
You gave it in our heyday
Don’t you take your love away
You save me as your rainy day lover
When you need cover
Your love will come tumbling down

When that rain starts pattering on the tin
And that hail starts battering, howling wind
That’s when you come teeth chattering to my window
All dressed up like a glimmering red flamingo

Don’t you take your love away
You gave it in our heyday
Don’t you take your love away
You save me as your rainy day lover
When you need cover
Your love will come tumbling down

I haven’t seen your face since God knows when
You always had your place in my heart back then
Now you pull your ace and I’m yours again
You’ll be gone without a trace by tomorrow morning

Don’t you take your love away
You gave it in our heyday
Don’t you take your love away
You save me as your rainy day lover
When you need cover
Your love will come tumbling down

And you always say you’re gonna stay around awhile
And I wanna believe it’s not another lie
And I always try to say goodbye for the last time
You know just what to say that I cannot deny
Oh what a fool am I?

(Don’t you take, don’t you take)

Don’t you take your love away
You gave it in our heyday
Don’t you take your love away
You save me as your rainy day lover x2

Rainy day lover
When you need cover
Your love will come tumbling down x 3
