Big Country - Rain Dance lyrics

If I hold my hand to you Though you never asked me to You will know it’s time for the rains to come And you must help me through If you feel the fear on me That I know the eye can’t see It comes with the sadness that the autumn brings So we know what has to be In the rain dance, I cool it all down It is the year to come, oh when this one’s run We are not dust we are not stone Just as the wild seed is sown No one knows how we bring it home We only take as we have grown When you put your arms on me Are they meant to set me free Or hold me like his master’s voice And put the spell on me I only have these hands I only have the land I fear you like the frost that the spring can bring Or the fire of a cattle brand In the rain dance, I cool it all down It is the year to come, oh when this one’s run In the rain dance, I cool it all down It is the year to come, oh when this one’s run We are not dust we are not stone Just as the wild seed is sown No one knows how we bring it home We only take as we have grown If I hold my hands to you Though you never asked me to You will know it’s time for the rains to come And you must help me through When we take all this to town And I buy the wedding gown We will find the newborn year As the winter crashes down In the rain dance, I cool it all down It is the year to come, oh when this one’s run In the rain dance, I cool it all down It is the year to come, oh when this one’s run
