I was sitting on the edge of his bed
Staring at the headlines on the paper
He said, "look at poor gene Kelly
I guess he won´t be singing in the rain."
You can take away my heroes
Can you take away my pain

Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don´t let it rain
Don´t stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I´m not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight
I´m tired of this fight
Soon I´ll be knocking at your door

She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces
He said, "what else can you do babe?
I guess I won´t be coming home again."
They just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain

Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don´t let it rain
Don´t stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I´m not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight
I´m tired of this fight
Soon I´ll be knocking at your door

His final scene
The actor bows
And all those years
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
The curtain falls

I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
Then I saw you looking back at me
And I knew that for a moment
You were calling out my name
You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain

Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It´s time to let it rain
There´s nothing left to hide
Take away my pain
I´m not frightened any more
I´m learning to survive
Without you in my life
Til you come knocking at my door.......
