Bruce Cockburn After The Rain Lyrics

After The Rain Lyrics

After the rain in the streets light flows like blood

I can just taste salt
on the humid wind 



Here comes that gasoline

Spreading hungry
rainbow over shiny black tar 



I'm blown like smoke and blind as
wind

Except for when your love breaks in 



Maybe to those who
love is given sight

To pierce the wall of seeming night

And know it
pure beyond all imagining 



Engine throb street cruise light bullet
car flash

Hollow beauty night gleam oily river tension glass 



Ultraflame! Glittering dust falling in slow motion

Clouds tumbling one
over another into apparent emptiness 



It's like a big fist breaking
down my door

I never felt such a love before 



Maybe to those
who love it's given to hear

Music too high for the human ear

And
clear as hydrogen to go singing
