Let It Rain

Tears fall onto the steering wheel Is this love I’m meant to feel? But how could that possibly be true? When my colour spectrum is forever blue Gone is this woman I use to know I sit and think as the streetlamps glow Never tempted by pulling of the heart strings And your touch and what feelings it brings Each night I tell you to go and not come back Every time I pin you down and prevent you to pack Leave lipstick stains on your neck like Gretel’s trail You’d return the gesture each time without fail Clothes scatter the bedroom floor How much more of this can we endure? I cannot compare you to a summer’s day As each season you continue to stay We’re more a terrible winter’s evening With high winds and blusterous dreaming When we met, you were a man of many song The passion is there, but the love does not belong I wipe my tears but the thought will still remain The canopy has opened, and for that let it rain So I can either shout it from the white cliffs of Dover Or whisper into your ear, that yes in fact it is over
