Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo] In the beginning, the land was stained Parched by the sun, deserts and plains Then the creators of the land created rain I was that barren, wasted land I was too weak to stand Then the creators of rain created you [Verse 2: Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo] High on a mountain, growing bare Land was plenty, trees were rare Then the creators of the rain created air I was that mountain growing bare My life was empty, nothing there Then the creators of air created you [Interlude: Amanda Acevedo] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Bridge: Mick Harvey with Amanda Acevedo] There would be no land, no seas No plants, no trees No life or me Without you Without you [Verse 3: Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo] Life had forgotten the carrying on Dreams that were lost to fade above Then the creators of rain created love I was that dream that life had made To search in endless hope and fate Then the creators of love created you [Outro: Amanda Acevedo] You, ooh You, ooh, ooh, ooh You, ooh-ooh, ooh You, ooh, ooh, ooh For me, ooh-ooh, ooh For me For me For me
