By the time that train came rumbling past the church yard, we were singing at the top of our voices. If some of the screams reached our ears, we'd just sing a little louder until we could hear them no more. Years have passed and no one talks about it much anymore, but I still hear that train whistle in my sleep. I can still hear them crying out for help.
'I only want 2 see U in the purple rain' means something like 'I wanna see U in a world after the war/ judgement day'...

Purple is the color of royalty. Rain can be changed to Reign, as in the reign of a King or Queen. So, Purple Reign would the rulership of royalty. This puts an intersting spin on the meaning of the song in context with everything else.n the tour to promote the album (conveniently called the Purple Rain World Tour), Prince's band, The Revolution, would play the intro to this song for about eight minutes while Prince underwent a costume change before emerging in fresh duds to complete the performance.
