Testo RUN INTO THE RAIN - Iyeoka
Testo della canzone RUN INTO THE RAIN (Iyeoka), tratta dall'album RUN INTO THE RAIN - Single
So I can be a hopeless romantic when I want to be
This one time I ran into the rain in the night just to see his smile
The next month I decided that he didn't deserve it but
Now I can rank how worthy he is
By answering the question to myself
But would I run into the rain for you?
See they never told me that I might make an attempt
At closing down sunsets on a mile long boulevard
Just so I could reach your spirit in time
Long before the sun was supposed to rise again
But would I run into the rain for you?
Conversations with Ella Fitzgerald and Billie
Holiday never told me I would be so willing
To fly nude through fire coals
Embellished with songs of Christmas heat
Listening for permission to sing of the purpose in love
But would I run into the rain for you?
Past the knives of ice liquid landing stone cold on my face
Past the deep black treacherous pits
Of mud threatening to pull me down
Throwing me under, twisting my ankles into the dark
Places where fair maidens who slumber get stepped on
But would I run into the rain for you?
Conversations with Maya Angelou and Nikki
Giovanni never told me I would doubt my womanhood
Lose face with my tears or lie in bed on a Sunday in July
Hungry, waiting patiently to be fed by only you
But would I run into the rain for you?
Laughing past the concrete and glass blistering my feet
Burning holes on my brand new Nikes
Abandoning the option of simply taking a cab or hopping on a train
Would I run into the rain embracing the passion of the storm
The significance of the mother earth tears beating on my breast
Covering the dry of my fists as I run up
Hills past green lights and red ones too
Would I run into the rain for you?
Conversations with Nina Simone never told me I
Would wait for you to love me, love me, love me
But give me more, give me more before I let you in
Before I cradle your soul and sin with the
Faith and the hopes and the possibility
That maybe if I ran that extra mile
Past that midnight train straight into the heart of the rain
Jumping over the deep black pits with my brand new Nikes
Running fast like Flo-Jo like Usain Bolt fast
Past the knives of ice liquid landing stone cold on my face
Past the screaming taxi cabs begging to take me into you
From the unbridled stone cold recklessness of the rain
Maybe if I did all of this for you
I could easily close down sunsets
And maybe, maybe I could reach your spirit in time
Long before the sun was supposed to rise again
