I Need The Rain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Long have I wandered
so far from home
Come to a place I
have never known
Gone too deep underground
Gone too far
better turn around
I?ve been running away
I?ve been
running away away
(chorus)
Don?t you know
I need the rain to hide my tears
To cover me
wash me clear
Don?t you know
I need the rain
to hide my tears
I?m in my cloud
I?m not here
No killing sun
to know where I go
No no killing sun
to know where I go
Stop the world
make it wait
Don?t you burn my eyes
in the fires of day
Let me stay dark and safe
And this crazy rain is
my last escape
I?ve been running away
I?ve been
running away away (chorus)
