Cold jade wind

not an angel in the sky


just cold jade restless wind

somethin's coming, I know

to devastate

my soul



I pricked my fingers

on the thorns

and this rain is a'rainin' hard

This sky's gonna beckon Mariah

to match my soul

rain in the river

rain in the river

rain on the river banks

down my neck

beads of sweat



Rain on the highway

running clear across New York

a windsong through the barren trees

wild lavender heather

by the railroad sways

Listen to the wailin'

of the rain in the river

rain on the river banks

Roll, roll

river rock his soul

she's calling you

rainclouds

rainclouds

Roll, roll

river rock his soul

she's calling you

rainclouds

rainclouds

down his neck

down his neck

down his neck

beads of

beads of

beads of

beads of sweat



five boys standing

on the banks of the river

waiting for the virgin snow

searching for a miracle

a pearl in an oyster

and we all looked out to God

although he is the color of the wind

Listen to the wailing

of the rain in the river

rain on the river banks



Come, young braves

come, young children

come to the book of love with me

Respect your brothers and your sisters

come to the book of love

I know it ain't easy

but we're gonna look for a better day

come, young braves

come, young children
