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...

You're sliding down a dream, o yea. where nights are born in blue, that's the truth. you're swimming in a stream, o yea. fish are jumping too, next to you.

Suddenly you notice someone's at the door, you could swear you've been through this all before.

Then she runs her fingertips through your hair. your life has just begun. her fingers, they are everywhere. you're floating light like air, leaving the ground and she shines on just like the sun


You're gazing at the sky, o my. the stars are out tonight, shining bright. you're waving to a cloud, bye-bye. you're drowning in the smile of his eyes. suddenly you feel there's no time for a de
Ough a voice tells you it's for real.

And she runs her fingertips through your hair and life has just begun. her fingers, there and everywhere. you're floating light like air, leaving the ground. she-she shines on just like the sun.

It's just a sunny afternoon. somebody's singing songs of love, child. you love a lazy afternoon once in a while.

In the coldest time of year,
Darkness all around my heart.
I was alone but didn't fear
To wander in the light of stars.
In the bright and silent night,
Winds would knock and disappear.
Still i felt the feeling near,
Like the first time you were ever here.
You're so far away,
So far away,
You left me,
You told me you would stay.
You never said goodbye
And i'll keep asking why,
I keep on asking how,
Oh come unto me now.
I have breathed the morning air,
I have heard the four winds blow.
I was weary but prepared to follow
Down this lonely road.
In the room where lovers sleep,
Winds would knock and disappear.
Still i felt the music near,
Like the first time we were ever here.
You're so far away,
So far away,
You left me,
You told me you would stay.
You never said goodbye
And i keep wondering why,
I keep on wondering how,
Oh come inside me now.

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...

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?
