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
