Paul Kelly
Smells Like Rain
[Verse 1: Linda Bull]
Oh, it’s been so long
Since water kissed this ground
And everywhere is aching
For grace to come fallin' down
Now I feel a change
Something on the wind
Can you feel it too?
It’s just about to begin

[Chorus 1: Linda Bull]
Oooh
Smells like rain
I do believe
We’re heading for a change

[Verse 2: Linda Bull]
Seems it’s been forever
Since the mercury was low
Don’t you feel the pressure
Is just about to blow?
Dark electric sky
Thunder from the west
Oh, my man’s got a hard head
He plays it close to his chest
[Chorus 1: Linda Bull]
Oooh
Smells like rain
I do believe
There's gonna be a change

[Chorus 2: Linda Bull]
Smells like rain
Belting rain
Smells like rain
Smashin' rain

[Post-Chorus: Linda Bull]
Wash us all again
Just wash us all away

[Ad-Libs: Linda Bull]

[Chorus 2: Linda Bull]
Smells like rain
Belting rain
Smells like rain
Blessed rain

[Post-Chorus: Linda Bull]
Wash us all away
Wash us all away
[Chorus 2 (Condensed): Linda Bull]
Smells like rain
Smashin' rain

[Outro: Linda Bull]
Wash it all away
We’re just waitin' on
Waitin' on the rain
Waitin' on the rain
Oh—ho
Waitin' on the rain
