Rain Child Lyrics

(M & L--Terry Watkinson)
Low by the lake where the willow stands / Ruby sits upon the sands
Watching castles wash away / with no one to know / no one to know
Locked in you there's a shade of blue / no one ever really knew
Locked in you there's a restless wind / with no where to go / no where to blow
Ruby cries for her lost surprise / stormy thunder eyes / Ruby rain child
Ruby run from the hunter's gun / from the searching sun / Ruby rain child
Low by the lake where the willow stands / Ruby sits upon the sands
Splash in the stream of a daring dream / wail the waste of yesterday
Watch your castles wash away / with no one to know / no one to know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
