Lyrics Bombay Rain - Caedmon's Call

The rain in Bombay
Falls on the righteous and the wrong
And there is no way for me to understand
Faces pull towards me like the sea to the moon
Eyes like diamonds in the sun
Abraham's grains of sand spilling over the streets
A wave of statistics

The rain in Bombay
Feeds the swelling of the sea
It threatens to drown all the voices drowning me
I stand beneath the gateway
Of foreign kings and queens
Nothing but pockets and candy
I look up to the sky
And see the stars hanging from
The promises, the promises of God

Hollywood, Bollywood, London, and Chicago
Lord, all the places you have placed us
I was born in a small town
And I feel like a small man
Looking out the windows of this Bombay bus

The rain in Bombay
Falls on the righteous and the wrong
And there is no way for me to understand
Obscene idols, rickshaw cycles, cows on the highway
Honey, all the things that I have seen
The most amazing of them all
Is the grace that we believe in
We are known and loved, loved and known

Hollywood, Bollywood, Tokyo, Nairobi
Lord, all the places you have placed us
I'm a child of the one God
The Spirit, Father, and Son
On each side of the windows of this Bombay bus

The rain in Bombay
The rain in Bombay
The rain in Bombay
The rain in Bombay
