  • Were you around
    Spring came today
    Outside your room
    You were away
    All the lost hours spent in the cold
    I didn't care
    I dreamed you were there
    Now I'm counting my chances gone 1 2 3
    If you see me today would you remember me
    Say you are free why don't you really live
    You gotta hate forever never can forgive
    And it's clear
    I learned to trust the rain
    I'm drifting out of reach
    It's kind of strange out here

    In this city built on broken glass
    And the carcasses of a million dead sheep
    Where the blood runs thick down third street
    Down the gutter to the railroad station
    And takes a train
    Up, over these big mountains to the sea
    That's where you gotta be
    You gotta go to the sea

    Yesterday I'm so glad to forget
    I was so sane all life remains
    But think of the time you learned to love
    The rain in the park we walked in the dark
    Now I'm counting my chances gone 1 2 3
    If you saw me today would you remember me
    Been raining forever, go ahead and leave
    But you gotta hate forever, you never can forgive

    So clear
    I can't distrust the rain
    I'm drifting out of reach
    It's very strange out here Publisher: Dirty Squirrel
