crying rain
Injunuity feat. Brittany Dawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Her name was Clear Blue Water
He called her Crying Rain
Her eyes were black and endless
But down deep he saw her pain
Her hair flowed like the river
A silken raven mane
Her name was Clear Blue Water
But he called her Crying Rain
I knew her heart was broken
I had heard his sad refrain
All he left her was a token
On the hill where they had laid
But she'd thrown it in the river
Never to be seen again
Beneath the Clear Blue Water
Crying Rain, Crying Rain
Crying Rain, please believe me
If I could cause your pain to fly
I'd take it to the mountain
And throw it to the sky
Crying Rain this man will hold you
Like the Eagle holds the Wind
Crying Rain the Wind has told you
Love again
Crying Rain, please believe me
If I could cause your pain to fly
I'd take it to the mountain
And throw it to the sky
Crying Rain this man will hold you
Like the Eagle holds the Wind
Crying Rain the Wind has told you
Love again




Crying Rain the Wind has told you
Love again
