Lyrics Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel

Red Rain

R: Red rain is coming down, red rain

Red rain is pouring down, pouring down, all over me

1. I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream

I cannot make a single sound as you scream

It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch

We touch, this place is so quiet, sensing that storm

R: Red rain is...

2. Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town

They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down

There is no blood around see no sign of pain

No pain, seeing no red at all, see no rain

R: Red rain is...

....

....

Putting the pressure on much harder now

To return again and again

Just let the red rain splash you

Let the rain fall on your skin

I come to you defences down

With the trust of a child

R: Red rain is...

And I can't watch any more, no more denial

It's so hard to lay down in all of this

R: Red rain is...

Red rain is coming down

Red rain is pouring down

Red rain is coming down all over me

I see it

Red rain is coming down

Red rain is pouring down

Red rain is coming down all over me

I'm bathing in

Red rain coming down

Red rain is coming down

Red rain is coming down all over me

I'm begging you

Red rain coming down

Red rain coming down

Red rain coming down

Red rain coming down

Over me in the red red sea

Cmaj7 Dsus4

Over me

Em

Over me

Red rain
