Of all the first and early fires, out in the dew,
Though I never saw soul, I knew they were tended by you.
All of heaven’s falling rain is running through your heart
Run, run, run. Run, run, run.
The murderous eye of Abraham, on that dark diaphanous day,
Burned into his only boy, orphaned him away.
All of heaven’s falling rain won’t bestow the grace
Of the beatings we took and we gave,
Beatings we took and we gave.
Despite the endless pit you dug, your endless thrall,
All the loitering lonely girls, were out in the hall.
All of heaven’s falling rain is running through your heart.
Run, run, run. Run, run, run.
The gutless prayer of Claudius, at the foot of his son,
The Dane is driving all the nails, one by one.
All of heaven’s falling rain cannot bestow the grace
Of the beatings we took and we gave,
Beatings we took and we gave. Beatings we took and we gave.
South of town two Texas girls were singing Jurame,
But your Broadway romance was blistering away.
All of heaven’s falling rain is pounding on your car
Run, run, run. Run, run, run.
It must have been a merciful thing, the face across your face.
It must have been a merciful thing, to leave me in this place.
All of heaven’s falling rain cannot bestow the grace,
Of the beatings we took and we gave,
Beatings we took and we gave.
