Soundgarden - Black Rain Lyrics
Send "Black Rain" Ringtone to your Cell
If I could hug my love, could I try
For your wings to cover me and let them fold
Half alive I hurt the most brilliant lie
Sleepless eyes, close the light
And rest your mind while you burn
Can’t stutter when you’re talking with your eyes
By cutting out your tongue you save face
Feeding on the blood lets running from a big day
Cry on black rain, cry on black rain
Cry on black rain
If I could hug my love could I try
for your wings to cover me unless I fall
Sleepless eyes, close the light
And rest your mind while you burn
You can’t stutter when you’re talking with your eyes
By cutting out your tongue you save face
Feeding on the blood lets running from a big day
Cry on black rain, Cry on black rain
Cry on black rain
You can’t stutter when you’re talking with your eyes
By cutting out your tongue you save face
Feeding on the blood lets running from a big day

As a long, long, very long time Soundgarden Fan (was there at the EP release party at Central Tavern in the ‘87 era, got one of the 5 EPs tossed out to the audience and signed)… This is a HUGE suck ass song!
