=Lyrics=
<pre>
Yesterday I was a young man
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day, yeah

Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like coloured rain
Tastes like coloured rain
Bring down coloured rain
Rain, oh yeah

I can feel those colored changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah

Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like coloured rain, baby
Tastes like coloured rain
Bring down coloured rain
Rain, oh yeah

Bring it on down baby

I can feel those colored changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah

Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like coloured rain, baby
Don't you know it feels like coloured rain
Don't you know baby
It's not all the time
That the sun won't shine, baby, yeah
If you love me and you want me to be your man, yeah yeah
There's one thing baby
Every woman should understand, hmmm
Without rain babe
Our love will never come to be
And if you want my sunshine
You've got to accept my hail rain and snow
There's one thing baby
That I want you to do for me yeah
I want you to take our body close
I want you to work that up I know
Take that coloured rain
Bring it down, yeah
Bring it on down, yeah
Bring it on down, yeah
Bring it on down, yeah
Bring it on down, yeah

Bring down coloured rain
</pre>

=Quotations and trivia=
From Melody Maker - July 31, [[1976]]:

"I didn't play the solo when we recorded the basic track, we laid down something like 188 bars open for me to overdub this solo. I had to improvise a solo over exactly 188 bars, to build a solo so that I came out at the end of 188 measures on some climactic note. George had to sit in front of me counting the bars as I played the solo and I tried to reach some peak as he was counting through 185, 186, 1987, 1988! I hated it, I felt very uncomfortable."
