Burning Rain

from The Woody House by Magpies

lyrics

Y


" Oh Lord , something calls me
electric the wind grows inside of me
Is that your will? Is that your hand?
I hear the trees screaming all over the land

Under my feet , right under my feet
a fierce thudding right under my feet
I can't stand still , the earth shivers
it has no fear but it has just got the fever

My angel has his wings in the sand
now he's just walking , walking on the land
Is this the end? Is this the end?
He has no warrant but just his own hands

How many lives we live in a day
and how many more we wish we had lived:
"If you choose to go , if you choose to go
nobody blames you then you gotta go"

There there grows the strange fruit
bitter and wild down to the roots
I thought I heard them say , I heard 'em say:
"You gotta go or you gotta stay"

Red and thick is the rain
these drops burn my skin again
but here I wanna stay, here I'm gonna stay
here singing this song under this burning rain "
