Let It Rain

Eric Clapton · Complete Clapton [2007]

The rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me

The sun could never thaw away the the bliss that lays around me

Let it rain, let it rain

Let your love rain down on me

Let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain, rain, rain

Her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun

Until I found the way to love, it's harder said than done

Let it rain, let it rain

Let your love rain down on me

Let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain, rain, rain

Now I know the secret; there is nothing that I lack

If I give my love to you, you'll surely give it back

Let it rain, let it rain

Let your love rain down on me

Let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain, rain, rain

Let It Rain

Eric Clapton's "Let It Rain" stands as a testament to his enduring ability to craft emotive rock ballads. Recorded during a period where Clapton frequently explored themes of resilience and emotional release, the track showcases his signature guitar work and soulful vocal delivery. While often associated with his extensive catalogue of love songs and blues-infused rock, this recording highlights a more introspective side of the artist. The song fits seamlessly within his broader discography, bridging the gap between his classic blues roots and the polished pop-rock sensibilities that defined much of his later career. As part of a comprehensive collection of his work, "Let It Rain" remains a compelling example of Clapton's skill in blending melodic simplicity with profound emotional depth.
