Opened my eyes
Had a dream last night
That both my arms were broken
Evening time
So help me now
Hold me down
I feel my world is tumbling
Spiral down
Oh my love I can't let go
Something's wrong I can't let go
Nature's cruel she laughs at me
As I make my way through the century
As I slowly turn to house dust
Tumble down
The rain falls down like a victory
In sheets of shining memory
Over and over
Circling around
Oh my love I can't let go
Something's wrong I can't let go
Nature's cruel she laughs at me
But almost too much for my heart
When it rains
Oh it tears my soul apart
When it rains
It's rains so slowly
In the city
Where I'm from
