Bruce Cockburn - After The Rain lyrics

rate me

After the rain in the streets light flows like blood<br />

I can just taste salt on the humid wind <br />

Here comes that gasoline<br />

Spreading hungry rainbow over shiny black tar <br />

I'm blown like smoke and blind as wind<br />

Except for when your love breaks in <br />

Maybe to those who love is given sight<br />

To pierce the wall of seeming night<br />

And know it pure beyond all imagining <br />

Engine throb street cruise light bullet car flash<br />

Hollow beauty night gleam oily river tension glass <br />

Ultraflame! Glittering dust falling in slow motion<br />

Clouds tumbling one over another into apparent emptiness <br />

It's like a big fist breaking down my door<br />

I never felt such a love before <br />

Maybe to those who love it's given to hear<br />

Music too high for the human ear<br />

And clear as hydrogen to go singing
