the sky is crying the streets are full of tears
  rain come down wash away my tears
  and all this writing on the wall
  oh i can read between the lines
  rain come down forgive this dirty town
  rain come down and give this dirty town
  a drink of water a drink of wine
  if i been hard on you i never chose to be
  i never wanted no one else
  i 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 would break in two
  i'd kiss your cheek i'd stop myself from waking you
  but in the dark you'd speak my name
  you'd say baby what's wrong?
  oh here i am baby i'm coming back for more
  i'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
  yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong?
  now you and me go parallel together and apart
  and you keep the perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
  did you never feel the distance
  you never tried to cross no line
  now 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 don't you think of me sometime
  sky is crying see the streets are full of tears
  rain coming down to wash away my fears
  and all this writing on the wall
  oh i can read between the lines
