roxette - the rain

I was raised the northern way and my
Father had a northern name, i did my
Crying out in the pouring rain. and a
Season turned into another one, i found
A heart bright like the morning sun. he
Touched my lips, so softly, with his fingertips.

But i kept the rain falling down on me
All the time, all the time. i kept the rain
Falling down on me all the time, all the time.

And some things in life won

You build it up and tear it down, there's no reason to follow you. you left the song without a sound, you left the story i made for you. softly angels bow and cry in the stillness of the night.

Never is a long time - goodbye. no answers for the asking. it's a long time - goodbye. no mercy for the aching. it's a long time - oh i see no light on the forsaken. never is a long time - goodb
Et's spend the night when this dream has come to an end.

Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry, and yes, i've cried over you. you've left me blind in paradise. you've left me hungering for the touch of you. snow white angels run and hide in the black
Of the night.

Never is a long time...

I hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game
Following the stars,
Don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all.
She has a train going downtown,
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon.
Oh she's the heart of the funfair,
She's got me whistling her private tune.
And it all begins where it ends,
And she's all mine,
My magic friend.she says:


Hello, you fool,
I love you,
C'mon join the joyride,
Join the joyride.


She's a flower,
I can paint her,
She's a child of the sun,
We're a part of this together,
Could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs oh no.
Cos it all begins again when it ends,
And we're all magic friends.
She says:


Hello, you fool,
I love you,
C'mon join the joyride,
Be a joyrider.
I take you on a skyride,
A felling like you're spellbound.
The sunshine is a lady
Who rox you like a baby.

Growing up on cinnamon street. everywhere you look there are lots of people to meet, it's seven o'clock, the breakfast treat. now the schoolbus is here, hurry up and grab a seat. all the dreams
Iny ones, another week has just begun on cinnamon street.

There was a girl on cinnamon street, the same age as me, we shared the curiosity. i won her heart cos i could play guitar. i promised her heaven at once and later all the stars. but it all remai
He same cos things can never change on cinnamon street.

I can hear my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a lazy rest in the sun. later we went dancing, staying up all night long - playing all our favourite songs, cinnamon songs: oh
Na na na na.

I say goodbye to cinnamon street. springtime is here and the air is so dry and sweet. i walk in a cloud, the smell of cinnamon bread, it's in my blood since the day i was born 'til i wake up...
And the sun is smiling gently, a funny shade of red, cinnamon street.

I still feel my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a lazy day in the sun. later we went dancing, hanging out all night long - singing all our favourite songs, cinnamon songs: o
Na na na na na na.

I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin. it's making me spin now, spinnin' within. before i melt like snow, i say hello - how do you do! i love the way you undress now. baby begin. do your
S, honey, my heart's in a mess. i love your blue-eyed voice, like tiny tim shines thru. how do you do!

Well, here we are crackin' jokes in the corner of our mouths and i feel like i'm laughing in a dream. if i was young i could wait outside your school cos your face is like the cover of a magazin


How do you do, do you do, the things that you do. no one i know could ever keep up with you. how do you do! did it ever make sense to you to say bye bye bye?

I see you in that chair with perfect skin. well, how have you been, baby, livin' in sin? hey, i gotta know, did you say hello - how do you do?

Well, here we are spending time in the louder part of town and it feels like everything's surreal. when i get old i will wait outside your house cos your hands have got the power meant to heal.

How do you do...

In that big big house there are fifty doors and one of them leads to your heart. in the time of spring i passed your gate and tried to make a start. all i knew was the scent of sea and dew but i
Een in love before, how about you?

There's a time for the good in life, a time to kill the pain in life, dream about the sun you queen of rain.

In that big old house there are fifty beds and one of them leads to your soul. it's a bed of fear, a bed of threats, regrets and sheets so cold. all i knew your eyes so velvet blue, i've been in
Before, how about you?

There's a time for the good in life...

It's time to place your bets in life, i've played the loser's game of life, dream about the sun you queen of rain.

Time went by as i wrote your name in the sky, fly fly away, bye bye.

I got to get a message through, i don't know where we're going. i wrap my arms around your naked shoulders, take cover for the night. i see you in the morning rain, oh step inside and lay beside
Tender can you close my eyes and blind me, oh give me just a smile...

Before i fade to silver, silver blue for you. before i fade to silver, silver blue for you.

I've turned into the broken one who lost the inspiration. i want to give you all my love like water to a blood red rose. the passion - i can't deal with her. the pain - well, i can do without hi
D this is like the milky way, an ocean that only grows and grows.

And babe i fade to silver, silver blue for you. i turn and fade to silver, silver blue for you.

I wrap my arms around your naked shoulders, take cover for the night.

Never looked back on a love affair. i never spent minutes on history, it made me sad, it made me so sad. and in no time no time at all a change has begun and the name is you, i feel strange, you
Ade my life strange. cos baby when you get close to me i say there's a certain chemistry.

Come back before you leave. i haven't got room for a broken heart. come back before you leave. you shouldn't go at all, you shouldn't go at all.

So many years and so many nights, i still can recall oh the way that you move when you dance, do you want to dance? we've had our habits and attitudes, you make me remember the power when everyt
S right, please stay the night. cos baby when you get close to me there's something about you i really need.

Come back before you leave...

Babe, come back before you leave, i'll be the air for you when you breathe, i'll be the rising sun. close the door, let's make love, all god's angels sing above into the rising sun.

Babe it's time to tell me that it's over, tell me that it's over, it's plain to see. and this time we won't be starting over, no crying on your shoulder into the heart shaped sea. oh you've been
Nning from our door and you've been enchanted by the gracious voice of love.

Babe it's time to look me in the eyes, time to say goodbye, it's clear to me. and this time i won't let you down, you can turn around, i'll set you free. oh you've been a-sailing from our shore
Ou've been enchanted by someone from afar.

Babe it's time to gather all the harvest, to pray before the winter and sail the heart shaped sea. oh you've been a-running from my love and you've been enchanted by the powers up above.

Every shape of every word you say that breaks the silence of an ordinary day. every look that seems to mystify, every single smile that spins me to the sky. it makes me wanna run, it makes me wa
Ide. cos you're the only one that makes me come alive. it's getting closer now and darker by the hour.

It only goes to show that here it comes, here comes the weekend and i'm on my own again with a saturday in the rain. here it comes, here comes the weekend. the fine line from pleasure to pain is
Ng me cry. when will i see you again?

Every breath, every vision you make. every chance in love you love to take. every move that seems to alter my world. every dream i've had about this boy and this girl. it makes me wanna run, it
Me wanna hide cos you're the only one that makes my love alive and time is running fast into a new goodbye.

It only goes to show that here it comes, here comes the weekend, another walk down that lonely lane, another sunday that feels the same. here it comes, here comes the weekend. the fine line from
Sure to pain is making me cry. when will i see you again?
