SONG #63
12/?/98
    John The Revelator
    JTR
It was always written as a love song, even when Carlos Santana suggested the "John The Revelator" line that originally appeared in the song. It's a calling out to a loved one, who may be unattainable.

come fill me up
oh when i'm dry and cold
when i'm emptied out
my voice cries out
oh and i only hope that your the one
my words will land upon
i play my cards
oh but it's by the grace of what
that i play my cards at all
come fill me up
oh fill me now
cause i'm dry
i feel emptied out

rain rain
rain down on me
again and again
rain down on me

i see you now
oh i you standing there and i swear
like an angel you came down
to wake me up
oh wake me now from my dreamless sleep
come on wake me up
you gotta get it

down life you don't cry
you try the sleeping sleeping
hurt but her side coming now
you got down just to wake your side up
coming but life you come on
you got to come to wake me child

rain rain
rain down on me
again and again
rain down on me

i see you now
oh i see the way the darkness of the light
when i'll go way up
i believe i see it now
it's like the devil and the lord
all in unison you know

so i gotta go out out to give
you know to give
you know to take out take out
when you don't cry you don't give
it's the way you light up
old man don't you cry
just cause you are the one
to save me child

rain rain
rain down on me
again and again
rain down on me

rain rain
rain down on me
