Bruce Cockburn

After the rain in the streets, light flows like blood
I can just taste salt on the humid wind
Here comes that gasoline
Spreading hungry rainbow over shiny black tar
Im blown like smoke and blind as wind
Except for when your love breaks in
Maybe to those who love is given sight
To pierce the wall of seeming night
And know it pure beyond all imagining
Engine throb
Street cruise
Light bullet
Car flash
Hollow beauty
Night gleam
Oily river
Tension
Glass
Ultraflame!
Glittering dust falling in slow motion
Clouds tumbling one over another into apparent emptiness
Its like a big fist breaking down my door
I never felt such a love before
Maybe to those who love its given to hear
Music too high for the human ear
And clear as hydrogen to go singing
[ After The Rain Lyrics ]
