Bruce Cockburn - After the Rain lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - After the Rain lyrics]
After the rain in the streets
Light flows like blood
I can just taste salt on the humid wind
Here comes that gasoline
Spreading hungry rainbow over shiny black tar
Blown like smoke and blind as wind
Except for when your love breaks in
Maybe to those who love is given sight
To pierce the wall of seeming night
And know it pure beyond all imagining
Engine throb street cruise light
Bullet car flash
Hollow beauty night gleam oily
River tension glass
Ultraflame! Glittering dust falling
In slow motion
Clouds tumbling one over another
Into apparent emptiness
It's like a big fist breaking down my door
I never felt such a love before
Maybe to those who love it's given to hear
Music too high for the human ear
And clear as hydrogen to go singing
Light flows like blood
I can just taste salt on the humid wind
Here comes that gasoline
Spreading hungry rainbow over shiny black tar
Blown like smoke and blind as wind
Except for when your love breaks in
Maybe to those who love is given sight
To pierce the wall of seeming night
And know it pure beyond all imagining
Engine throb street cruise light
Bullet car flash
Hollow beauty night gleam oily
River tension glass
Ultraflame! Glittering dust falling
In slow motion
Clouds tumbling one over another
Into apparent emptiness
It's like a big fist breaking down my door
I never felt such a love before
Maybe to those who love it's given to hear
Music too high for the human ear
And clear as hydrogen to go singing
