Lyrics
Dragway 42
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I walk the streets at night
Under artificial light
Looking for somewhere to live
I've been on the east side
Where a lady can reside
But, I'm waiting for you
Waiting for you
In the falling rain
Oh heal me
Heal me...again
What's the cost of fame?
What's in a name?
Maybe, can you
Vibrate and clarify
So that even lowly I
Can find the road that leads to you
In the falling rain
Oh heal me
Heal me...again
One more little heartache
One more little heartache
One more little earthquake
Wash me down
Wash me down
Ghostly memory
Come back to me
Fill me and then
Take me to your grave
I promise to behave
And let me in the whole
Of you
In the falling rain
Oh heal me
Heal me...again
