"Fire and Rain"
Song lyrics, Sweet Baby James (1970)

"When The Rain Came Down" <!-- at some points this sounds more like "I am standing in green" -->
Ecto (1987)
Context: When the rain came down, I was standing in the green
My soul was touched by every tree that my eyes could see
I am in peace, in love, in harmony
when the rain comes
down When the rain came down — melded with my tears
When the rain came down — flow away the fears
When the rain came down — bigger than the sea
When the rain came down — then came me.

“Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain”
Song lyrics, Blonde on Blonde (1966), Just Like A Woman

“We will outstretch the hand if you unclench your fist.”

Come Talk to Me
Song lyrics, Us (1992)
