Coloured Rain Lyrics

Coloured Rain
(Winwood/Capaldi/Wood)

Yesterday I was a young boy
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day
'Till you came along
There was nothing but an empty space and a pain

Feels like Coloured Rain
Tastes like Coloured Rain
Bring on Coloured Rain
Yeah!

I can see a sail of changing
Filling with surprise
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes
Till you came along
there was nothing but an empty space and a pain

I've always thought that Coloured Rain was a veiled reference to LSD.

I agree. But then I think most of that album ("Heaven Is In Your Mind," a.k.a. "Mr. Fantasy") is about acid: "Hole In My Shoe," "Dear Mr. Fantasy," "Heaven Is In Your Mind" ("water the flowers that grow out your heel"?), etc.

and you would be correct!

Exactly Who Are You...who who who who
