A gutter full of rain
An empty picture frame
A house out at the edges of the city
Never noticing the war
Til it´s right there at your door
And suddenly your hands are bloody

I was seeking to possess
Now another girl´s caress
Is on your flesh
The bitterness is tasted
There´s nobody in your chair
No hand to touch my hair
The sun even the air seems wasted

Let it go now
Let it all slip away
And we´ll start it all over again
Me like a million others before
Trying to make sense of the rain

Were these twenty years a dream
Was it ever as it seemed
Get to wonder if it really existed
Cause the thief who stole my life
Has taken too my faith
I can see now how the world gets
Twisted

Let it go now
Let it all slip away
And we´ll start it all over again
Me like a million others before
Trying to make sense of the rain

In spite of all the shame
Sometimes I hear your name
I think of us when we were younger
Then I´m shutting out the noise
And I´m trying to hear the voice
That used to tell me love was
Stronger

Light another cigarette
But the one I got´s still lit
I can´t seem to keep my fingers
Steady
Never noticing the war
Til it´s right there at your door
And suddenly your hands are bloody
