Lyrics Time After Time/Red Rain/So. Central Rain - R.E.M.

Time After Time/Red Rain/So. Central Rain

Ask the girl of the hour
By the water towers watch
If your friends took a fall
Are you obligated to follow
Time after time after time
If you’re tired and you tried
You can find me in my room
You can stay if you want
And the third time you cant lose
Time after time after time
Time after time after time
If the bulls on his hooves
When you gather friends by the tower
If you try to refuse
Will they judge your worth by the hour?
Time after time after time
Time after time after time
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is coming down
Pouring down on me
I come to you defenses down with the trust of a child
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Eastern to mountain, third party call
The lines are down
The wise man built his words
Upon the rocks
But I’m not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city in the mountains
There is a boy without a dream
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversations dimmed
Go buy yourself another dream, this choice wasn’t mine
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I would swim the ocean deep
Climb the highest mountain peak
I come to your defenses down
With the trust of a child
