[Verse 1]
Oh, if I had my way, I would never go back
With my back to the wall, just let myself fall
Watch the daytimes turn black
But now and again I find, you cross my mind
[Verse 2]
Oh, if I was a train, I would never slow down
My head in the sky and the world goin' by every nowhere town
As I write one more letter to you
No, I can't change the things that I do, oh
[Chorus]
One day when you discover
Just why I ran, ran away from you, lover
Well, I know I'm to blame, feel so ashamed
Called out your name
Oh, after the rain
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, what do you want me to do?
I've thrown away everything for you
Well, I've wasted my dreams
Each day it seems
Losing my way back to you
[Verse 4]
It's time for a change
What else could I do?
With the clock ticking time
Better make up my mind
Is it me or is it you?
Yeah, tonight as I'm losing control
I will drink to the queen of my soul
[Chorus]
One day when you discover
Just why I ran, ran away, ran away from you, lover
I know I'm to blame, feel so ashamed
Called out your name
Oh, after the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
Oh, after the rain
After the rain
After the rain

What did Blue Rodeo say about "After the Rain"?
Just a tortured love song. Not really grounded in reality as much as it could be. From Casino onwards, I realized that, as a songwriter, I had to write things that were very lodged in reality because of the repetition of what we’d been doing and because of how deep we were getting into the whole lif...
What else has Jim Cuddy said about the track?
In a March 2020 Facebook post, Cuddy said:
For a few reasons we had to re-record the song “After The Rain” in Los Angeles where we had been making the record with Pete Anderson. Unfortunately, the rest of the band had gone home already so Greg and I ended up cutting the song with Pete’s studio guy...
