She loves him
|
But she doesn't want him
|
She used to burn for him
|
But now that's changed
|
She knows he knows
|
And she says it isn't so
|
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
|
She still loves 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.
