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
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 time
They said 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
To that place the sun
never stops shining
The rain's below us
The rain's below us
The rain's below us
The rain's below us
