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
