The Sky Above the Rain lyrics

She loves him

But she doesn't want him

She used to burn for him

But now that's changed

She knows he knows

And she says it isn't so

What else can she say?

But when he reaches out

She turns away

When he talks about it

She says he's cruel

So he apologises

Counts his blessings

What else can he do?

She used to gaze at him

Reach out with her toes to touch him

She still loves him

But she doesn't want him

And in her eyes, he's so much less

Than the light heart she met

The laughing boy she used to know

(The laughing boy she used to know)

He feels ugly now

And the ugliness creeps around inside him

Until he really is

The animal that paws at him and gnaws at him

The silverback wins over him

And in his pain, and bitter shame

He resents her

The one who loves him

They said they'd never lie

They'd learned their lessons from the last times

They said that they could talk

They could always talk

Deceit stirs in them now

For reasons good as well as bad

But he wants so much

Not to live another lie

To be free and high again

He wants to see the blue sky above the rain

He wants to see the blue sky above the rain

He's flown there and he's seen it

He's been up there lighter than air

Floating in a miracle

But he can't fly until she wants him

He can't burn until she sparks him

He's dressed in lead from toe to head

Remembering the blue sky above the pouring rain

He tries to see the blue sky above the rain

Maybe they'll talk

Soul to soul, head to head, heart to heart, eye to eye

Rise up to that blue space above the clouds

Where troubles die

And tears dry

Heading West and climbing

To that place the sun never stops shining

The rain's below us

The rain's below us

When the rain's below us

The rain's below us
