If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
On and on the rain will fall
On and on the rain will fall
Perhaps this final act was meant to clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall like tears from a star
On and on the rain will see how fragile we are
If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
On and on the rain will fall like tears from a star
On and on the rain will see how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

brokemusician Oct 20, 2005 - 10:11	Problem is the original is so good and memorable (and somewhat still recent) that it is hard to top off, even interpreted by a great singer like Cassandra Wilson. [ Reply ]

ArbiterOfGoodTaste Oct 05, 2005 - 17:42	Tuned to another song after a few seconds. Too damn boring. [ Reply ]
SuperWeh Aug 07, 2005 - 10:35	hmm, I severely disliked the original version but this is bearable (apart from the corny lyrics, but that's not really her fault) [ Reply ]

I am sooo tired of hearing this crappy version, I'm going to get off my duff right now and upload the cover by Jesse Cook and the sultry Holly Cole that just smokes. It beats the crap out of this cover so it should make it to the play list. April 28: Still waiting to see if it gets accepted. It's getting 10/4 on LRC at this time. May 6: Hey, it's out of LRC and accepted today! Damn, Rebecca must have one hell of a backlog. I'd like to hear that version! Hear, hear!! ... uh... yeah. *slinks away for some edible nourishment since the musical one is causing delirium [ Reply ]
cupcakegirrrl Apr 26, 2005 - 12:38	Can't help but think of the September 11th connection I have to this song, as do others. Therefore it's a bit hard to wrap your brain around this version. I don't really dislike it as the song stands on its own and I like her other songs ("I've Grown Accustom to His Face" = personal fav), but I'm not enjoying it either. Meh. p.s. Saw Sting do this live = actually very moving. [ Reply ]
Old_Pool_Skunk Apr 11, 2005 - 21:11	Man.. this was a good song when it came out. Great to see Sting perform it live, and slow dance with one of the backup singers... now it's been almost completely trampled by the crowd. Sad. [ Reply ]
redeyespy Mar 23, 2005 - 10:27	Well done. Enough soul here to fill in what's missing out of a thousand or so other covers. [ Reply ]

atticus Feb 11, 2005 - 22:16	Ha! Just requested some Police... and this came up right away. Bill, are you really manning the controls 24 hours a day? One of my all time favorite songs... unfortunately, though Sting must be honored, this just isn't cutting it. Far from the magic of the original. atticus [ Reply ]
