Here's a case study of a standard issue heartbreak
Broken trust, aching love. Pack it in a suitcase
With all of my panic to carry across the Atlantic like
Emmylou- just to fly. They want love songs, baby I
Don't know how to be happy
With or without him, some other shade of grey
So I don't sing about sunshine
All I write about is rain.
Rain
Maybe I'll cut my hair, join a Limerick City rock band
Or hold him like a souvenir, stolen from the homeland
Pour me a double cause I'm asking for trouble and
Maybe I'll sit awhile, tell my fingers not to dial
I don't know how to be happy
With or without him, some other shade of grey
So I don't sing about sunshine
All I write about is rain.
Rain
In an angry bruise, buried blood, loneliness wrapped in rage
In a deluge, in a flood, I am words pouring down a page
I don't know how to be happy
I don't know, I don't know
How to be happy
With or without him
Just a shade of grey
So I don't sing about sunshine
All I write about is rain.
Rain
