Black 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.
I open my eyes, everything shines
We swim as the breeze blows down the coast
Down on my luck, breathing my last
Dirty old hands, carry me home
Red sky turning round
Black rain falling down
If you've got love
You'd better hope that that's enough
Sandstorm cuts your skin
Black kites circling
If you've got love
You'd better hope that that's enough
We came from the south to Lebanon's shore
Folded our clothes, dive into peace
The blackest of seas glittering red
Lit by the fire over our heads
Red sky turning round
Black rain falling down
If you've got love
You better hope that that's enough
Sandstorm cuts your skin
Sunbirds circling
If you've got love
You'd better hope that that's enough
Oh
You'd better hope that that's enough
Oh
