Here Comes the Rain, Mama! where the rain in life comes along just when the sun seemed to be shining. This track opens the album and reappears in a rather darker reprise form as the penultimate track.

Here Comes the Rain, Mama!

Rain!
Rain!

(various verses, John keeps updating these and singing new ones)

Here comes the rain, Mama, here comes the rain!

...There used to be a time of harmony and rhyme
when nothing ever spoiled the view.
There was just me and you, falling in love.
But I feel I've been had -
it really makes me feel sad
to know that there is more bad news
messing up the life that I choose
seeing clouds above.

Here comes the rain, Mama!
