Love Rain Lyrics - Who Is Jill Scott? Words And Sounds, Vol. 1 - Jill Scott

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me 

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me 

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me 

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me 

Met him on a Thursday, sunny afternoon 

Cumulus clouds, eighty-four degrees 

He was brown, deep 

Said he wanted to talk about my mission 

Listen to my past lives (Word?) 

Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy 

Talked about Moses and Mumia 

Reparations, blue colors, memories of shell-topped Adidas 

He was fresh like summer peaches 

Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy 

Us was nice and warm, no jacket, no umbrella, just warm 

At night we would watch the stars 

And he would physically give me each and every one 

I felt like cayenne pepper, red, hot, spicy 

I felt dizzy and so near the heavens and miles between my thighs 

Better than love, we made delicious 

He me had, had me he 

He had me tongue-tied 

I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts 

I was his sharp, his horn section 

His boom and his bip 

And he was my love 

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me 

The rain was fallin' and, and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes 

And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest 

And I was his faithful concubine 

Wide open, wide, loose like bowels after collard greens 

The mistake was made 

Love slipped from my lips 

Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap 

And us became new 

Now me non-clairvoyant and in love 

Made the coochie easy and the obvious, invisible 

The rain was falling 

And I couldn't see the season changing 

And the vibe slipping off its axis 

Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato 

The rain was falling and I could not see 

That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized 

And left to drown in his sunny afternoon 

Cumulus clouds, eighty-four degrees, melody 

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me 

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me 

Wide open, wide loose 

The mistake was made 

Love slipped from my lips, my chin, and landed in his lap 

And us became new, me non clairvoyant and in love me 

Me the fool 

You were never true 

If you didn't want me, ah, you should have let me know 

All you was make a mockery of something so incredible and beautiful 

I honestly in love 

Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
