The sky is crying   The streets are full of tears   Rain come down   Wash away my fears   And all this writing on the wall   Oh, I can read between the lines   Rain come down   Forgive this dirty town   Rain come down   Give this dirty town   A drink of water   A drink of wine   If I've been hard on you   I never chose to be   I never wanted no one else   I've tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to   Hand in hand   Like lovers are supposed to   As you'd sleep   I'd think my heart will break in two   I'd kiss your cheek   I'd stop myself from waking you   But in the dark you'd speak my name   And say, "Baby, what's wrong?"   Oh, here i am, baby   I'm coming back for more   I'm like a wave   It's got to roll into the shore   Yes, and if my love's in vain   How come my love is so strong?   If I've been hard on you   I never chose to be   I never wanted no one else   I've tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to   Hand in hand   Like lovers are supposed to   Supposed to be   Now, you and me, we go parallel   Together and apart   And you keep the perfect distance   And it's tearing at my heart   'Cause you never feel the distance   But you never tried to cross no lines   'Cause it's another dirty river   And another dirty scar   And I don't know who's kissing you   And I don't know where you are   So far from home   Won't you think of me sometime?   If I've been hard on you   I never chose to be   I never wanted no one else   I've tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to   Hand in hand   Like lovers are supposed to   If I've been hard on you   I never chose to be   I never wanted no one else   I've tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to   Hand in hand   Like lovers are supposed to   Well, the sky is crying   See, the streets are full of tears   Rain come down   Wash away my fears   And all this writing on the wall   Oh, I can read between the lines.
