joss stone - rain song (live) lyrics

[part i: when you’re in love]

[spoken intro]
so this song kind of was inspired by a very long, crazy tour that i did
i decided that i really wanted to do a world tour, but in my mind, i thought that meant every country in the world
that made sense to me
apparently not, but i did it that way anyway
just wanted to make sure, you know, we didn’t miss anywhere out
and the one thing we found was that there is love everywhere
no matter what the culture, what the language, what the food, it’s great

[verse]
when you’re in love
the wholе world knows it
all that you see
is colours shimmering, b+tterflies and bees
whеn you’re in love
sense goes out the window
you can’t hide it, love
but why would you try to?

[chorus]
paris, kingston, erbil, love
london, quito, rio, love
all around the world
[post+chorus]
(la+la+la+la, la+la+la+la, la+la+la+love you up)
i wanna love you up
(la+la+la+la, la+la+la+love you up)
yes, i do

[spoken outro]
so on that tour, we did a gig in every country
we met with beautiful people that were helping others , that was a lovely part of it
and we did a musical collaboration also in every country
i would love to sing them all to you
but i wanna just pick one, this one is one of my favourites
this, it was a crazy request
the chav that i was doing the collaboration with, he just played guitar so he needed me to write a song
i’ll sing it for you
it was a crazy time

[part ii: rain song]

[spoken intro]
alright, come with me to botswana for a second
this lovely man asked me to write a song to bring the rain
’cause it hadn’t rained for nine months
i was like, “okay, i’ll give it a go”
and this is what i came up with
[chorus]
rain, fall down
fall down on me
spread love with light and sound
rain, wash over me

[verse 1]
we who planted the seed of life
hold out patience with everything inside
love to the mother of land and sky
water spirit, won’t you shed your light? i said

[chorus]
rain, fall down
fall down on me
spread love with light and sound
rain, wash over me

[verse 2]
bring to me the light dance
ring the bell of a certain romance
we don’t wanna lay down in the dust
so let go and help me back up, i said

[chorus]
rain, fall down
fall down on me
spread love with light and sound
rain, wash over me
[spoken]
so, so ronnie asked me to write this song and i’m feeling like, “okay
well, i know music is powerful, but i don’t know if i can make it rain”
there i was, i was sat on the plane flying towards botswana and i’m scribbling away, “rain, rain, fall down, i don’t know what to say”
i swear to you, no word of a lie, when this plane landed, the heavens opened and it p+ssed down
i was like, “oh”
everyone was like, “oh, my god, it’s raining”, it was, like, this crazy thing
the whole time we were there, it was like sideways rain

[chorus]
rain, fall down on me
(fall down on me)
but obviously, it worked
(spread love with light and sound)
oh, my gosh, for the memories, yeah
(rain, wash over me)
wash over me, come on now
(wash over me)
won’t you wash over me? wash over me
(wash over me)
come on now
wash over me
wash over me

[spoken outro]
i mean
i do love a good coincidence
absolutely crazy
