lyrics

I Need the Rain (Kerwell)

Take my hand, baby, take my hand.
Take my frown, you understand,
What it means when the world is so dry,
All the anger burns my eyes.
Feel the ground, hard beneath our feet.
The clay so cruel, what life can breathe?
Oh, your smile, lightens up my life.
The air so still, no one's right.

When I'm with you and I close my eyes,
I become you, past all disguise.
I need your rain falling down from the sky.
We'll be the same now, we're on the same line.
I need the rain.
I need the rain.

I see the faces hanging to the ground.
I feel the anger in every town.
What does it mean when you're so full of spite?
All this heat, all the fright.
Feel the rage pouring out of your heart,
All the flame burning us apart.
Who should mind what you're wearing on your head,
Or how you sleep in your own bed?

I don't care about the color of your clothes.
We'll take them off when we get back home.
I don't care how many legs you've got.
Who is your God, who is not.
I need the rain.
I need the rain.

There's a drop, a drop in the sand.
Some cool water, to quench the land.
Take my hand, baby, take my hand.
Hold me up, you understand.

I don't care about what food you eat.
I don't care about the shape of your teeth.
When I know you there will be no surprise.
When I know you we'll see we never die.

I need the rain, I need the rain, etc.
