petergabriel.comRed rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over meI 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
(Hay ay ay we touch)
This place is so quiet sensing that stormRed rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over meWell 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
Hay ay ay no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rainRed rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over meRed rain
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 childRed rain coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
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 meI see it
Red rain 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
Over me, over me, red rainWritten by Peter Gabriel
