"Dirty Rain" lyrics

"Dirty Rain"

Last time I was here, it was rainin', it ain't rainin' anymore
The streets were drowned and the waters waning, all the ruins washed ashore
Now I'm just lookin' through the rubble, tryin' to find out who we were
Last time I was here, it was rainin', it ain't rainin' anymore

Last time I was here, you were waitin', you're not waitin' anymore
The window's broke and the smoke's escapin', all the books scattered 'cross the floor
And the church bells are ringin' through the sirens and your coat was full of bullet holes
Last time I was here, you were waitin', you ain't waitin' anymore

So, may the wind blow, may the moonlight know your name
So, let the needle move the record 'round 'til the walls cave in
And you and I are out there dancin' in the dirty rain

Last time I was here, it was rainin' like you ain't never ever seen it rain
And your eyes were filled with terror and the smoke from the gasoline
As the stars exploded with gunfire, I saw you smilin' just before
Last time I was here, you were cryin', you're not cryin' anymore

So, may the wind blow, may the moonlight know your name
So, let the needle move the record 'round 'til the walls cave in
And you and I are out there dancin' in the dirty rain

Mm, the dirty rain
In the dirty rain, mm mm
