the sky is crying the streets are full of tears
|
rain come down wash away my tears
|
and all this writing on the wall
|
oh i can read between the lines
|
rain come down forgive this dirty town
|
rain come down and give this dirty town
|
a drink of water a drink of wine
|
|
if i been hard on you i never chose to be
|
i never wanted no one else
|
i tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
|
hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
|
|
as you'd sleep i'd think my heart would break in two
|
i'd kiss your cheek i'd stop myself from waking you
|
but in the dark you'd speak my name
|
you'd say baby what's wrong?
|
oh here i am baby i'm coming back for more
|
i'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
|
yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong?
|
|
now you and me go parallel together and apart
|
and you keep the perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
|
did you never feel the distance
|
you never tried to cross no line
|
now it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
|
and i don't know who's kissing you and i don't know where you are
|
so far from home don't you think of me sometime
|
|
sky is crying see the streets are full of tears
|
rain coming down to wash away my fears
|
and all this writing on the wall
|
oh i can read between the lines
|
