Rain Dance - Big Country

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
