Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

[Verse 2]

I am standing up at the water's edge

In my dream

I cannot make a single sound

As you scream

You can't be that cold

The ground is still warm to touch

Hey we touch

This place is so quiet

Sensing that storm

[Verse 3]

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

[Verse 4]

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

And I see no sign of pain

Hey, no pain

Seeing no red at all

See no rain

[Verse 5]

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

[Verse 6]

Red rain

Oh, 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, defenses down

With the trust of a child

[Verse 7]

Oh, red rain coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

[Verse 8]

And I can't watch anymore

No more denial

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

Red rain coming down

Red rain is pouring down

Red rain is coming down all over me

I see it

Red rain coming down

Red rain is pouring down

Red rain is coming down all over me

[Verse 9]

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

Over me

Over me

Red rain
