Rain In The Summertime |
Under the anvil of the sun
Sweat, like a train
I come, I come,
My body to dust
Scorched by the might of the sun
Burning light, burning white heat
Like wildfire
I sweat a fever
My body screams
Disintegrates in the heat
Our love is the FAITH that keeps on burning
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
Burnt at the stake, on a bed of fire
My body rises
Taking me higher
My loves desire
Is pure ascension fire
And love is the FAITH that keeps on burning
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
And then I run 'til the breath tears my throat
'Til the pain hits my side
As if I run fast enough
I can leave all the pain and the sadness behind
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
I love to feel the RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME
I love to feel the rain on my face
(I love to feel the rain on my face)
(In the summertime)
See them run
Like characters in paintings
Turners frightening 'scapes
Industrial inside a nation of no escape
There's no escape in my frightened face
As we run run run
And turn to stone
OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho
See them fall
The rebecca ride at dawn
Petticoat ghost and tom
Working to reclaim the land for no reward
There's no reward my daughters of dawn
As we run run run
And turn to stone
OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho
I've been down amongst the crying there
Upon my knees I'm dying
And Polsen dragged across the city walls
Upon a wooden horse
Horse
Horse
Horse
This is Jericho
OH LORD hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho
OH LORD the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Oh lord
Well the docks lie crippled
In the northem towns
The boys have all gone away
Trying to find work down south
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won't someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
Now I've seen the future
And I've seen the past
And I've seen the lights go down
On this world fading fast
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won't someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
Won't someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
Now I've got a wife and a young child
Back home in my house
Oh I've got someone
I've got to take care of somehow
Well, back in '75
When the kid was on the line
And he felt no pain
'Cause there was none
He would bend in the wind
Take in anything
Like sniffin' roses
And it was alright
Until he fell
And cut his hand
He just could not understand
He'd run away
Blame pretense
For defence
Or plain innocence
Say that's alright
The harder it fights
I'm one step closer to home
The deeper it bites
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
Oh yeah he ran
Hitched, rides
Travelled light
Left his bags behind
Said he'd lost them
He said that's O.K.
I get money and a smile
From place to place
And they don't mind
I've had the heads of business men and I just gave them
Right back again
I've got no need
For device, disguise
Or for their compromise
Said that's airight
The tougher it gets
I'm one step closer to home
The more that I sweat
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
There ain't no need for this at all, at all
Surely you can help me out
Say, I know a lot of people just like you
Plently to live for and nothing to lose
So tear it all down
Smash it all up
Break it all down and then just
Build it up
Build it up
Ah now build it up
Oh you build it up (Build it up)
Ah now build it up (Build it up)
Ah build it up
Build it up, Build it up, Build it up, up, up, up
And the tougher it gets
And the more that I sweat
And the harder it fights
And the deeper it bites
I'm one step closer to home
And the harder it fights
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I'm ONE STEP CLOSER TO HOME
Shelter, oh
I've been branded
I've been washed up and left for dead
I've been cast out from this world
I'm in exile
I'm stranded on the streets
Ain't got no place left to run
No one wants me anymore, anymore, anymore
Now they hunt me down
C'mon and take me to the shelter
SHELTER give me what I want tonight shelter
SHELTER take me undercover tonight
SHELTER
I've been tortured
I've been raging in the breach
In this wicked world
Persecution
I've been carrying my cross
I've been down there on my knees
No one wants me anymore, anymore, anymore
Now they hunt me down
Come on and take me to the shelter
SHELTER give me what I want tonight shelter
SHELTER running undercover tonight shelter
SHELTER
Come on and take me to the shelter
SHELTER give me what I want tonight
(Give me your love) Shelter
SHELTER Sleeping on the streets tonight
(Give me your love) Shelter
SHELTER give me what I want tonight
(Give me your love) Shelter
SHELTER give me what I want tonight
A renegade
Rides a run away train
To liberate
Tear these bonds assunder
A fugitive
Running from a chain gang
Comfort me
Grant me absolution
Running all my life
Running all my day
Running through the night
Seems like forever
Take me now
I'm so tired
Take me now
This time, forever
RESCUE ME
I'm on the run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
Oh come on rescue me
I'm destitute
I'm looking for protection
I want love
And physical asylum
A vagabond
Running from destruction
Cover me
While I seek defection
Running all my life
Running all my day
Running through the night
Seems like forever
Take me now
I'm so tired
Take me now
This time, forever
RESCUE ME
I'm on the run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
I believe you can rescue me
Running all my life
Running all my day
Running through the night
Seems like forever
Take me now
I'm so tired
Take me now
This time, forever
RESCUE ME
On the run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
Oh come on rescue me
RESCUE ME
Got to run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
I believe you can rescue me
RESCUE ME
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Daylight breaks on the streets of my life
Where no sun shines there bums refusal to die
In the shadows of heartache my dreams come alive
I've been searching for love to give meaning to life
Oh no, you make me feel real
Oh no, I've got you, you've got me
And that's all we need
A reason to believe
Tonight my love will never die
Tonight I will lay down my life
Wherever we run wherever we go
Tonight I will be yours and you will be mine
In the morning light hope comes on the dawn
A turning point after all these years
In the strength borne of hardship
I knew we'd make it through
So throw back your head babe
These dreams are coming true
Oh no, there's blood sweat and tears now
Oh no, I've found you, you've found me
And that's all we need a reason to believe
Tonight my love will never die
Tonight I will lay down my life
Wherever we run wherever we go
Tonight I will be yours and you will be mine
Tonight we'll go beyond these realms
Of where the sun goes down
We will be together
There is permanence in change
'Cause I found you you found me
And now we've found a reason to believe
Tonight our love will never die
Tonight I will lay down my life
Wherever we run wherever we go
Tonight I will be yours and you will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
You will be mine
Daylight breaks on the streets of my life
Where no sun shines there bums refusal to die
The first heaven is silver
And you are silver you shine white light
The second heaven is sacred
And you are sacred of pure soul
The third heaven is pearl
And your name is forever written
Oh don't walk away
No don't walk away
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the seven heavens
I'm alive with the agony the ecstacy
Strive for the pleasure and the pain
I'm walking in the presence of love
The fourth heaven is white gold
And you cry white golden tears
The fifth heaven is holy
You are the angel of sweet mercy
The sixth heaven is of ruby
Of the wind and of the earth
Oh don't walk away
No don't walk away
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the seven heavens
I'm alive with the agony the ecstacy
Strive for the pleasure and the pain
I'm walking in the presence of love
I don't want to die in a hell on earth
In the valley below in the pain and the hurt
In the sea of danger drowning me
There's a ray of hope
When I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the seven heavens
I'm alive with the agony the ecstacy
Strive for the pleasure and the pain
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm walking in the seven heavens
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm coming into heaven oh lord
I'm walking in the presence of love
I'm coming into heaven oh lord
Somewhere in this world
I know that love exists
I've known it in a kiss
Sometimes in my sleep
I've been searching
For more than these few glimpses
For a love that lasts all eternity
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light that never dies
I'm all alone now
The crowds have all gone home
There is a silence
Silence in my world
I wish that every moment could be peaceful
But I guess that's something
I can only pray for
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light in my desire (see it shine)
See it shining, shining for tomorrow
Only love can give me an answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
This world is crashing down
In oh so many ways
I get so scared
Scared and so alone
Life I desire
But what is life without love
You say that's nothing
To me it's everything
There is a light, a light that never dies
Oh no, see it shine, shining in my sorrow
There is a light, a light in my desire (see it shine)
See it shining, shining for tomorrow
Only love can give me an answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
I need a friend someone to turn to
Someone to turn to in my hour of need (someone)
Someone to give me an answer (someone)
Someone to give me the love I need
Only love can give me the answer (only love)
Oh I know that love can heal (only love)
From the dust a new hope rises up
Only love can set me, set me free
Set me free
Only love can give me the answer (only love)
Only love can set me free
Mission bells ring out from kingdom hall
A lone voice cries on the hillside
The winds from the north blow the sea to the shore
I walk away in the fateful moonlight
Love forsaken man, love forsaken land
For God's sake don't look back
Into the crucifix night
The storm of a cross
I live to love again and again
All my life
Oh Eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
The view from the hill looks bleak from where I stand
The waters are come in unto my soul
I can't cry no more my eyes are bone dry sore
There's a river of tears flowing down to the sea
I'm a desolate soul on a desolate shore
Destined to walk alone
Into the crucifix night
The storm of a cross
I live to love again and again
All my life
Oh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
Hurricane when will I see you again?
Hurricane when will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
I'm a desolate soul on a desolate shore
Destined to walk alone
Into the crucifix night
The storm of a cross
I live to love again and again
All my life
Oh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Of my life
Oh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
Hurricane
Hurricane
