Child in the Rain Lyrics

I was just asking for some understanding

Where the wall reaches the sea

Just crying at the candid line

That tore my heart from me

Satisfied to be your lover, holding on to you

I was beginning to forget all of the loves I never knew

Flat on my back against the falling tree

I'm hovering over the ravine

Still full of everything I tried to say

New canyons spilling out of me

I see you everytime I close my eyes

Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing

You're not mourning the rebellion of putting up a house

Or the joy of having children or even just a spouse

You're just contemplating fire, you say you're not afraid

You say the conflagrations holy the resetting of the day

You're saying I should listen to it

Sit down and really listen to it, sit down

Flat on my back against the falling tree

I'm hovering over the ravine

Still full of everything I tried to say

New canyons spilling out of me

I see you everytime I close my eyes

Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing

Running through the forest

Running through the forest

Running through the forest

When we stepped out of the tower

On the seventy-third floor

Saw the city stretched below us

Saw what used to be the door

Of a vast and empty floodplain

And the river was so wild

We suffocate the wilderness to entertain the child

We suffocate the wilderness to entertain the child

I remember the floodplain

And the river was so wild

Flat on my back against the falling tree

I'm hovering over the ravine

Still full of everything I tried to say

New canyons spilling out of me

I see you everytime I close my eyes

Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing

Running through the forest, laughing

Running through the forest, laughing

Running through the forest, laughing
