	Lyrics The First Time I Felt Rain (Perla Batalla/David Batteau) When the pistel grinds On the grinding stone I remember the dead And their star-crossed bones - yeah, yeah How the firmament fell With a crash and a boom How it covered the earth In a watery tomb - yeah, yeah Rain Rain Rain It was the first time I felt rain And then you appear Like a hummingbird For my marigold Its my prayers youve heard - yeah, yeah I remember the ruins And the wounds you healed You were Gods green grass In a lilac field - yeah, yeah Rain Rain Rain It was the first time I felt rain Once we could look up at the waters above And see our reflection before the flood Youre the uncut stones to my memory Youre the unpaved road, youre the ark in me Yeah, Yeah Yeah, Yeah Rain Rain Rain It was the first time I felt rain (chorus) Rain Rain Rain It was the first time I felt rain
