Donna found us in her slow and dreamy way
I can't hear a word the waiter says
She's looking older than the colour of her hair
She walks into the room too pleased to find me there
Me i'm touchy
Touchy you
Me i'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me i'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Me i'm touchy and you know what to do
Both of us together in a room by ourselves
I sneeze to look around, byt there's no escape
What can i do, what can i say
She's waiting for this moment to explain itself.
Me i'm touchy
Touchy you
Me i'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me i'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Touching love is the best i can do
Hey, this time you've gone too far
You know how touchy we are
Donna found me in her slow and dreamy way
Now she reads me what the paper say
The way she laughs and what i do
I'm waiting for this moment to explain itself through
Me i'm touchy...etc.

"night i left the city,
I dreamt of a wolf..."

He came from where the winds are cold
And truth is seen through keyholes
...strange longins never sleep
Now he's come where no hearts beat
Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry

You can start, but you cannot stop
You give in, but you can't give up
You can tell all your desperate jokes
To a world that puts
Love on hold
Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

...the sunken-in eyes
And the pain in his cries
A shape in the dark...
Cry wolf
Time to worry
Cry wolf
Time to worry now

here i am
And within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now
Than thewildest dream could have seen her
And i watch her slipping away
Though i know i'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the the lengths i'll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the the lengths i'll go to
To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart
Next to mine
She's the sweetest love i could find
So i guess i'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths i'll go to
High and low
High
Do you know what it means to love you
I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths i'll go to
Oh! for you i'll be hunting high and low

You are the one who has done me in
Guess you knew from the start
I call again, but there's no one in
Don't know where, with whom you've been
But i do
Love you
Anyway you want me too
You are the one...now the state i'm in!
Catching you was so hard
I fought for you, did you let me win!?
You don't even care, you don't care
Where i've been
But i do
Love you
Anyway you want me too
I've done all i can do
All the letters i've sent through
Put my life in the palms of your hand
Maybe now you can see
That it's got to be me
But if you leave me
I'll understand, yeah
If you leave me, i'll understand
You are the one who has done me in
Guess you knew from the start
I call your friends, but there's no one in
Catching you is so hard
You are the one!

It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized;
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And i could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet i did it all so coldly
...almost slowly
Pain for all to see
Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me; things i could find helpful
How can i stop now...
Is there nothing i can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
...nervously drumming on:run away
But i want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
- preying on my mind
Please now
Talke to me
Tell me; things i could find helpful
For how can i stop now...
Is there nothing i can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say,
"my boat's leaving now"
...so we shake hands and cry
Now i must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to cry again
I don't want to run away
Don't want to race this pain
I'll never see your face again

Oh but how
How can you say
That i didn't try...
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That may love's run dry
No...

We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And they say: wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

But you know
I don't want to fall again
Don't want to look this pain
Don't want another friend
Don't want to try again
Don't want to see you hurt
Don't let me see you hurt
I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again

How can you say
That i didn't try
You know i did
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That my love's run dry

...so i read to myself:
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page
A black and white picture
Of manhattan skyline

i'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and i know how to hide
All the sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If i wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that i still love you so
Only the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears i hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears i hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me...

I reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure off
My ever worried mind

All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me
These days

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me

Please don't ask me to defend
The shamefull lowlands
Of the way i'm drifting
Gloomily through time
(touch me)

I reached inside myself today
(give all your love)
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep the troubles distant

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
