Running From The Rain Lyrics
there was a sound that split all the heavens apart
on the northern wind out in a southern spark
oh, I will be with you running from the rain,
when it reaches the end of the line.
I see myself reflected in broken glass
as the gates come crashing down.
there is blood on the tracks, tonight,
and rust inside our veins...
will it ache every time I hear the storm running behind me?
there were some younger kids
who followed the tracks that day
it was a passing afternoon
that came and took them away
so we forgot our names
lying in the tall grass
underneath the billboard dreams
Oh I will be with you
running from the rain,
when it reaches the end of the line.
I see myself reflected in broken glass
as the gates come crashing down.
there is blood on the tracks, tonight,
and rust inside our veins...
will it ache every time I hear the storm It’s running all over me.
Running from the rain
(see the steam in the distant hills
see the rooftops glitter in the sun
hear the summer counting down
running out, running from the rain
operator, operator, did you lose your way when you got that call your brother made?
you're sick of running and you know it's true you're coming back, running from the rain)
on the northern wind out in a southern spark
oh, I will be with you running from the rain,
I see myself reflected in broken glass
as the gates come crashing down.
there is blood on the tracks, tonight,
and rust inside our veins...
will it ache every time I hear the storm running behind me?
who followed the tracks that day
it was a passing afternoon
that came and took them away
so we forgot our names
lying in the tall grass
underneath the billboard dreams
Oh I will be with you
running from the rain,
I see myself reflected in broken glass
as the gates come crashing down.
there is blood on the tracks, tonight,
and rust inside our veins...
will it ache every time I hear the storm It’s running all over me.
Running from the rain
see the rooftops glitter in the sun
hear the summer counting down
running out, running from the rain
operator, operator, did you lose your way when you got that call your brother made?
you're sick of running and you know it's true you're coming back, running from the rain)

I had a great amount of difficulty transcripting some of these: "In the Northern ___" "(We will make every turn if __)" and all that whispering was difficult
So any help will be much appreciated thanks!
Also as far as the song goes, this one is friggin amazing and I am getting more excited every second. I must hear the full version of Sugar In The Sacrement tho it is like this but more amazing. Each song I hear just impresses me more.
this sounds like U2 to me
still an awesome song though, very different than anything they've done before
Yes I like how none of these new songs seem to fall into one collective lump, their all different in their own way
counting 54321 and this song seem to be about the same event. lyrically this ones better. hopefully the sound quality of it is like counting 54321...i like the way that song sounds.
I.Love.This.Song.
Let me tell you people, this song is much more beautiful live. They played it back at the December shows and I was simply enchanted. Geoff's voice sounds amazing and the guitars are so simple and beautiful and during their live show, the lights match the mood of this song so well. Ahhhhhh, I'm in love. I've had this song on repeat pretty much all day. I can't wait to see them in 22/25 days. =)
Is it just me or could you trade Rain for Train and you basically get all the literal sense of this song just splayed out in front of you? I attempted to fix some of the lyrics, the one's in capitals are the one's I'm not sure about and of course there is still that whispering at the end.
this has explosions in the sky written all over it. fucking amazing. the album is going to be amazing, it will change the way people view the band.
there is blood on the tracks tooooniiight! lovely.. and yes it reminds you of sigur ros in the beginning. this song is apparently about the train accident that a friend of geoff's had. i suppose we can't go into much more detail with that, as far as the story behind it.
you did an excellent job with the whispered part at the end, i got basically the same. thumbs up.
can you say epic?! so heavy intense sounding and the lyrics are amazing.
