You look like rain.→[More:]
I can tell you taste like the sky because you look like rain.
You look like rain, you look like rain, you look like rain, you look like rain.
I woke today, felt your side of the bed;
The covers were still warm where you’d been layin'.
You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread;
You might not be sleeping here again.
But it's alright cause I love you,
And that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs,
Written in the letters of your name.
And brave the storm to come,
For it surely looks like rain
Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?
And guess from the cries you were listening to a fight.
Well you know, oh-oh , hate’s just the last thing they're thinking of.
They're only tryin' to make it through the night.
I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down
Or fence you in the lines I might've drawn.
It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to havin' you around.
The landscape would be empty, if you were gone;
But it's alright cause I love you,
And that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But I'll still sing you love songs,
Written in the letter of your name.
And brave the storm to come,
For it surely looks like rain.
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
The nights are hot and black as ink
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain.
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
yeah, we touch
this place is so quiet, sensing that storm
red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me
