Lyrics
The First Time I Felt Rain
P. Batalla D. Batteau
when the pistel grinds
On the grinding stone
I remember the dead
And their star-crossed bones - yeah, yeah
How the firmament fell
With a crash and a boom
How it covered the earth
In a watery tomb - yeah, yeah
Rain Rain Rain
It was the first time I felt rain
And then you appear
Like a hummingbird
For my marigold
It?s my prayers you?ve heard - yeah, yeah
I remember the ruins
And the wounds you healed
You were God?s green grass
In a lilac field - yeah, yeah
Rain Rain Rain
It was the first time I felt rain
Once we could look up at the waters above
And see our reflection before the flood
You?re the uncut stones to my memory
You?re the unpaved road, you?re the ark in me
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Rain Rain Rain
It was the first time I felt rain
(chorus)
Rain Rain Rain
It was the first time I felt rain
