Can you help me?
Help me find peace inside
Sir can you lead me
Into the cradle of life

Fountains flow and hedgerows grow
Cars are fast and hearts are slow
The chimes of midnight calling
Please forgive me

Tears flow like flooded lands
I reach out for your hand
Rivers of dreams taken from me
You can’t stop the rain
From drowning you

The bus re-joins the flooded highway
Puddles of resentment mar the way
Knowing you don’t care anymore makes this journey harder
To see your face out on the road
It’s not enough to stop the rain

Fountains flow and hedgerows grow
Cars are fast and hearts are slow
The chimes of midnight calling
Please forgive me

Tears flow like flooded lands
I reach out for your hand
Rivers of dreams taken from me
You can’t stop the rain
From drowning you
