Call Caedmon`s Bombay Rain Lyrics

Bombay Rain Lyrics

The rain in Bombay fall on the righteous and the wrong 

And there is no way for me to understand 

Faces pull towards me like the sea to the moon 

Eyes like diamonds in the sun 

Abraham's grains of sand spilling over the streets 

A wave of statistics 



The rain in Bombay feeds the swelling of the sea 

It threatens to drown all the voices drowning me 

We stand beneath the gateway of the foreign kings and queens 

With nothing but pockets of candy 

I look up to the sky and see the stars hanging from 

The promises, the promises of God 



Hollywood, Bollywood, London and Chicago 

Lord, all the places you have placed us 

I was born in a small town, and I feel like a small man 

Looking out the windows of this Bombay bus 



The rain in Bombay falls on the righteous and the wrong 

And there is no way for me to understnad 

Obscene idols, rickshaw cycles, cows on the highway 

Honey, all the things that I have seen 

But most amazing of them all is the grace that we believe in 

That we are known and loved, loved and known 



Hollywood, Bollywood, Tokyo, Nairobi 

Lord, all the places you have placed us 

I'm a child of the one God 

The Spirit, Father, and Son 

On each side of the windows of this Bombay bus 



The rain in Bombay...
