Gutters Full Of Rain

A gutter full of rain

An empty picture frame

A house out at the edges of the city

Never noticing the war

Til it's right there at your door

And suddenly your hands are bloody



I was seeking to possess

Now another girl's caress

Is on your flesh

The bitterness is tasted

There's nobody in your chair

No hand to touch my hair

The sun even the air seems wasted



Let it go now

Let it all slip away

And we'll start it all over again

Me like a million others before

Trying to make sense of the rain



Were these twenty years a dream

Was it ever as it seemed

Get to wonder if it really existed

Cause the thief who stole my life

Has taken too my faith

I can see now how the world gets

Twisted



Let it go now

Let it all slip away

And we'll start it all over again

Me like a million others before

Trying to make sense of the rain



In spite of all the shame

Sometimes i hear your name

I think of us when we were younger

Then i'm shutting out the noise

And i'm trying to hear the voice

That used to tell me love was

Stronger



Light another cigarette

But the one i got's still lit

I can't seem to keep my fingers

Steady

Never noticing the war

Til it's right there at your door

And suddenly your hands are bloody
