Lyrics Papa Rain - The Hollies

Papa Rain
Is that a face behind the silly grin and buried chin?
I'd say I had that
Swapping something out
While taking something in
Hopes were rising
Hopes were rising
Papa Rain
Silently you just seem self
That the number one is odd
Leaning heavily
On faith he's built
Touch across the guard
Mama's dying
Mama's dying
Papa go out
Hold the young child near
Let his young heart beat for two
Papa go out
Hold the young child near
Let his young eyes cry for two
Papa Rain
Papa Rain
By the fireside he's kneeling
A chance for looking back
Have you played it right
And payed it right?
Settle up for what you had
Hopes were rising
Papa Rain
Silently you just seem self
That the number one is odd
Leaning heavily
On faith he's built
Touch across the guard
Mama's dying
Mama's dying
