Trying to make sense of the rain
Is on your flesh
The bitterness is tasted
I think of us when we were younger
A gutter full of rain
Well, start it all over again
An' suddenly your hands are bloody
Well, start it all over again
Was it ever as it seemed?
'Cause the thief who stole my life
Were these twenty years a dream
An empty picture frame
Never noticing the war
Get to wonder if it really existed
Let it go now
In spite of all the shame
There's nobody in your chair
Let it all slip away
Me like a million others before
Never noticing the war
Let it go now
I was seeking to possess
The sun, even the air seems wasted

Trying to make sense of the rain
Let it all slip away
Till it's right there at your door
I can see now how the world gets twisted
Now another girl's caress
That used to tell me love was stronger
I can't seem to keep my fingers steady
Songwriter: David Gray
A house out at the edges of the city
Sometimes I hear your name
But the one I got still lit
Light another cigarette
An' suddenly your hands are bloody
No hand to touch my hair
Me like a million others before
Then I'm shuttin' out the noise
Has taken too my faith
And I'm trying to hear the voice
Till it's right there at your door
