Roxette - Queen of Rain
(I'm sorry if I posted this topic to wrong forum).
Hello, everyone. I have a question here.
I've listened the Roxette's song "Queen of rain". It's very beautiful, I liked it.
Here is the chorus (heared - wrote down):
"That's a time for the good in life,
A time to kill the pain in life,
Dream about the sun, you queen of rain".
I can't understand the last line - why "you" not "you're".
Maybe author means that the sun is queen of rain as well and "queen of rain" is just an address?
- "Dream about the sun - (about) you, queen of rain".
Or maybe author enumerates the names of something what's dreamed by him?
- "Dream about the sun, you, queen of rain".
Here the sun, queen of rain and you is the same thing. Why song is called "Queen of rain" not, for example, "the sun" then?
Thanks.

The line is metaphoric. The sun is what's good. The rain is what's bad, painful, what one suffers from.

The line of the song is addressed to her, to the queen of rain, to the woman in pain.
You, (who are) the queen of rain: Dr

Oooh, metaphoric. Now I've understood.
"You" is an address. "You" is "queen of rain".
"Dream about the sun, you" = "You, dream about the sun".
They use double address: "you" and "queen of rain".
They call to dream about the good, about the sun, and address to "you", to "queen of rain".
They want "you" do
