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
It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
(As 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 around, 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
(Red rain) Just let the red rain splash you
(Red rain) Let the rain fall on your skin
(Red rain) I'll come to you, defenses down
With the trust of a child
[Verse 7]
Red rain is 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
[Verse 9]
Red rain coming down
Red rain
Red rain is coming down
All over me, I see it
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
All over me
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
[Verse 10]
Red rain coming down over me
In the red, red sea
Over me
Over me
Red rain
[Verse 11]
So, well you, before we bring things to a close
I just wanna introduce some of the amazing soloists up here to, tonight
On the second violin, we have Martin Burgess
Viola, Fiona Bonds
Will Scofield on the cello
Mr. Chris Lawrence on the double bass
Eliza Marshall on the flute
French horn, Nigel Black
Andy Crowley on the trumpet
Percussion, Rob Farrer
Amazing job on the piano from Mr. Tom Colley
And on the pipes, Melanie and Anna Brun
And this is a place near where I used to live
It's called Solsbury Hill
