Marillion - The Sky Above The Rain Lyrics
She loves him
But she doesn't want him
She used to burn for him
But now that's changed
She knows he knows
What else can she say?
But when he reaches out
She turns away.
When he talks about it
She says he's cruel
So he apologises
Counts his blessings
What else can he do?
She used to gaze at him reach out with her toes to touch him
But she doesn't want him
And in her eyes, he's so much less
Than the light heart she met
The laughing boy she used to know
He feels ugly now, and the ugliness, creeps around inside him
Until he really is.
The animal paws at him, gnaws at him
The silver-back wins over him
And in his pain, and bitter shame, he resents her.
The one who loves him
They said they'd never lie
They'd learned their lessons from the last times
They said that they could talk
They could always talk
Deceit stirs in them now for reasons good as well as bad
But he wants so much
Not to live another lie
To be free and high again
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Remembering the blue sky above the pouring rain
He's trying to see the blue sky above the rain
He's flown there and he's seen it,
been up there lighter than air, floating in the miracle
But he can't fly until she wants him
He can't burn until she sparks him
He's dressed in lead from toe to head
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain
Remembering the blue sky above the rain
Maybe they'll talk
Soul to soul head to head heart to heart eye to eye
Rise up to that blue space above the clouds
Where troubles die
And tears dry
Heading West and climbing
In that place the sun never stops shining
The rain's below us.

Marillion The Sky Above The Rain Comments
Semplicemente splendida Adoro questa musica
Adoro está música
Brasil. Rio de janeiro
Wow! That brought a lump in my throat.
Applausi!👏👏
Marillion - whoever else ...
i loved this song before i even heard it
This song is so amazing .. his voice these lyrics.. wow is all I can say !! ❤️
This song reminds me of a very hard part in the past, no one can pull on my emotions more than Marillion, a fan for 20 odd years because of my lovely mum playing them since I was a child
faria de um tudo pra ir a um show do Marillion
✨💜✨
Extremely YES-like. Fantastic. I can here them performing it.
Des frissons! excellent....merci
This is a brilliant song and the lyrics are inspired. I have no words....
Walked 8 miles and took in the album from start to finish (a few times!) and was in tears...this is so f***ing brilliant.

Perfectly expressed..Marillion are the masters of depth.. evident and overwhelming for all those that feel it..
En 1983/1984 surgieron dos grupos totalmente deudores de Genesis, Yes... : Marillion y IQ.
"Script for a Jester's tear" y " Tales from the lush attic" eran, respectivamente, una maravillosa, impecable, extraordinaria muestra de talento y categoría musical y compositiva.
Han pasado 34 años... Y los dos grupos han evolucionado con enorme calidad, y sus composiciones " recientes " ( me refiero desde 2000, por ejemplo ) mantienen ese espíritu y capacidad emocionante de sus inicios.
Hay quien añorará la etapa histriónica de Fish... No hace falta ser tan obcecado: si escuchando esta maravillosa canción no te conmociona el alma... entonces es que no entiendes nada... :-)
Everything adds up to one.....Marillion are true gods of their craft.
Yes, the previous comment is correct!!!!!!!.........
super sensacional....
Ce groupe me stimule au plus profond de moi depuis mon adolescent. J'ai aujourd'hui 46 ans est je me régal toujours autant à écouter leurs albums. Merci à eux pour celà ...
Oh my God.... the song moved me before I read the lyrics..... and then I read them. I do not cry easily, but anyone not moved by these lyrics is dead inside.
This song is masterful. While it delves into the pitfalls of relationships, it acknowledges that love and lust are not always hand in hand. But, if the love is strong, there is still hope of finding a way to fix things and to rise above the rain.
Marillion es inmortal, puro sentimiento y lírica, the best!
I meant to write that those times in my life were crucially important to me, sorry that I had to make that clarification................
I will remain silent on this issue except that HMARILLION came to be at a few critically remarkable points in my life
I heard Marillion in 1978 didn't love their music until I listened to them in 2017. Fantastic love it
Birmingham UK 2018 - as Clint Eastwood would say-"BRAVO".
Marillion the soundtrack of mta soul
Sheesh..'Maybe they'll talk.....' Sobbing like a baby..only Marillion can do this!!
Tato, dziękuję, że dzięki Tobie jestem kim jestem, a taka muzyka mi towarzyszy
Thank god Rothery rediscovered his guitar skills on Ghosts of Pripyat, this song needs an emotive guitar solo. Nice song otherwise, I like FEAR better though.
Mike Nichols The guitar solo towards the end of the song is true genius. If you don't think so then you've not listened
No, this track is perfect as it is. Sometimes less is better, and a huge guitar solo (in the style of Pripryat) would completely ruin the mood and flow of the music.
Beautiful song...
exselente tema musical
The end of "Sounds..." is magic. This song is wonderful! Thanks Marillion for your talent for life and music.
.... heart and soul... i lost 2 years with this song....
Marti Kos, I know where you are coming from. One of the best Marillion tracks I've ever heard. Hang in there.
exquisito....
Este tema es la historia de mi vida...
Охренеть!
beautiful song !!!!
sublime
such a human experience
Maybe they'll talk
Soul to soul head to head heart to heart eye to eye
Rise up to that blue space above the clouds
Where troubles die
And tears dry
Heading West and climbing
In that place the sun never stops shining
The rain's below us.
so beautifull mg
gapman, eres genial gracias por tu buen acierto musical,
Amazing

simplesmente maravilhoso!
słuchać tego ,słuchać ,słuchać ...jedna z ''pereł '' muzyki

I love this beautiful song...
I LOVE MARILLION !
+Rogério Rodrigues moi,aussi. et depuis plus de 25 ans!!!!
Terry Knighton On the description!!!
is it to late to say i'm sorry-lol
Beautiful song - loved Marillion since 1986, thanks.
Robert Andre mother
Maybe they'll...
I have been a marillion fan for a seriously long time now and there is no words to describe how good this is. It's frightening how good this song is. In my opinion I don't think I'll ever hear better from them.
+Stuart McNeil Perfectly put, Sir.
A magnificent, moving piece. This album is one of my favourite with Steve Hogarth, after two more or less disappointing albums.
Brilliant brilliant track, the stand out track on STCBM, I know a lot say Gaza, but it does not hold a candle to this song, one of the greatest songs by Marillion
WOW!! Made me cry......
Soul wrenching lyrics set to absolutely exquisite music ...
Thank you for a beautiful share :)
I loved it and you're welcome! :)
very commom reaction :)
As much as I loved Fish and his career is still wonderful. There's a reason why the rest of the band kicked him out and received the remarkable talents of Steve H. Marillion paints the pictures of all my dreams and visions. True musical genius.
ummm.. he did not get booted.
We toured far too much and always in the same areas to the point of overexposure. We should have taken a year off. I should have made my solo album and got it out my system while the others followed their projects and we could have come back in '89 with a new and fresh Marillion album. We all needed a break from each other and to recapture our private and personal lives away from the band. We needed to grow as people not as a band. The management wouldn't have had the income though and my offer to resign was readily accepted.
I was stunned at the departure of Fish, but in retrospect (as a grown man rather than a spotty teenager) it worked out for the best. My cousin bought the single 'Assassin', with the proceeds of strawberry picking in rural Perthshire. We sat down at my late father's record player and listened to that single until we knew every second of it by heart. I think Marillion was the first band I adopted as part of me. The music just became interwoven with the fabric of my youth. Saw you guys live twice before Fish parted, and so glad of that. Fugazi is STILL one of my goto albums in times of strife. As a fan I can say I have never have been disappointed in any of the paths and output produced by former or current Marillion members. Genuinely amazing musicians, and it annoys me a little that most people only know Kayleigh & Lavender as those two tracks don't reflect the virtuosity and depth of Marilion. The above track is...sublime.
TheSabeMan true
He left he wasn’t kicked out
Fish left the band because of a fortune teller.
this is h at his best the golden rain , the best moment of my life wolves 2013
Marillion: the soundtrack to my life :) Makes me smile to see folks talk about H as the new guy or talk of the Hogarth Era. Marillion has had Steve now longer than When Fish was in the band. Much longer. Since before I was born and that was 20 something years ago! :O I love the mellow tones of the latter Marillion, to just slap on whilst the rain pours outside. I was a kid when I first listened to this band. Now I have my own kids pattering about me whilst the songs still echo the halls.
#MARILLION SKY ABOVE THE RAIN
Esta canción es increíble, sublime, eriza la piel. Que buena banda por dios..
the sky above the me
indescribable! very deep lyrics.
One person has no umbrella... ;)
Without doubt this band covers every aspect of emotions.as all their songs take you to some time in your life.that you can clearly remember..brilliant.to say the least.
Totally agree with your comment
This is more than just a song, it is a true masterpiece, a heavenly experience that lifts the spirit to places so High (above the clouds)...it could be interpreted not necessarily as search of human love but as our continuous search of happiness and spirituality (whichever credo we have) and that place where the Sun is always shining and the rain is below us…amazing lyrics
Is it just that i haven't listened to the album enough lately, or is this mix a bit different from what's on the disk?
Maybe they talk. SHHE.
Amo-te Mikie ***
Hoje e sempre
One of my favourite Bands right from the start...Fish and Hogarth era's...Absolute Musical perfection...Thank you for posting this x
The best song of "Sound that can't be made" abum
One of the greatest Marillion's from H era!
hogarth and wilson
So good... reminds me of how I felt on my very first listening of Pink Floyd when I was a teen. Same feeling of wow... amazed
so many feels...
Sharing this to the one you have ever loved the most to later watch her leave and fade is quite the very core of this poem...I think I was blessed...She took my heart full of love and now her memory lies everywhere
when i 1st heard this i thought the last lyric was the rains for lovers it could work
não tem mais o vigor de antes...
o que q aconteceu com o marillion que eu conhecia?
nanda cruz o grupo de hoje e simplesmente diferente, mais maduro/velho/considerado e tranquilo, porem mais versatil, tem registros musicais de muito mais versatilidade. Nos anos de Fish brilham tambem, doutra maneira do rock puro porem ao mesmo momento com sabor super agrio. Com H no grupo temos mais melancholia, porem nao falta de emocoes. Eu fico com as duas "generacoes" - maravilhas iguais.
Simply...Marillion
I love this song. Bravo!
The beginning piano loop kinda reminds me of what Kate Bush did on her last album, which was also really good.
Brilliant!!!
if you think this is boring then you are not listening to the lyrics .... OMG ! .. sheer class
Love it ; one of the best poems from Marillion Seen them live in Enschede Holland dong the song while voices were as bad as rain. But sound was strong as ever! Peter. Lochem
AMAZING - Marillion really can get inside you , naking Sounds that can't be made
can't wait for Montreal !!!
Saw H do this live in Glasgow ...Awsome
Je ne peux pas écouter cette chanson sans pleurer à chaque fois... Elle est belle si belle, mais elle me tourmente.
beautiful song, one of the best on the new Marillion album... really wonderful thought sad
Very well done video @ninozen
I'm really touched...
When emotions are so perfectly expressed in words and song, we are in presence of pure genius. Marillion should be acknowledged as such.
One off the best song that i ever listen
Finally got to listen to this with no interruptions, simply stunning. I've never shed a tear listening to a song before this one.
una pieza de arte!
Gracias marillion por tan bella música!
Thanks Marillion for all those years with wonderfull music you''ll made
Didn't think that they could top "Neverland"...
This is the kind of music you hope for your whole life to hear someone make
ESTA ES UNA ROLOTA DE SU NUEVO MATERIAL EXCELENTE CANCION
Thanks Marillion for this great song, long life Hogarth & co. !!!
Not a good idea to listen to this when you're already crying... I think this album is one of the greatest they've ever done.
Magnifique chanson, superbe voix, envoûtante! Toujours aussi beaux les albums de Marillion :)
tak pięknie gra ,tylko MARILLION;-)
Esta canción es un himno, como muchas de las canciones de Marillion, toca las fibras del alma, long life Marillion!!!
