I've tried believin' even tried cheatin' myself Of almost everything just to fashion reason out of what Must have been nothin' at all Now I can't when exactly I saw through the darkness and into the light Fantastic as it was it was cool and bright Like on a steely night of shadows Still far from home When I came round I saw myself on a merry go round With my heart on the ground And there I see The rains coming down to wash away the dream we found Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found Now there's nothing left for me But you can set me free I won't believe ya neither deceive ya when you say we gotta carry on 'Cos I know the dream is over The one we shared so long... too long When we could have been getting on just being friends And not holding on to the past Which is just sand I guess we try to belong 'Cos we have to be strong just to get it done But I was on the ground most of the time On a merry go round looking up but going down And there I see the rains comin' down to wash away the dream we found Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found Now there's nothing left for me Can you see? The rain beat down, rain come down But what can we do with a thing like you A heart with a hard on for ignorance A child of fools where nothing rings true In a myth that's cruel, where I see the cross You see the nail, where you see the mytsery I see the failure And it's bringing me down, I'm just a clown On a merry go round looking up but going down And there I see the rains comin' down to wash away the dream we found Lyin' there for all to see in the dust of memories Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found A spider fingered vice all sugar and spice Runnin' down my face feelin' like black rain Clawin' under my skin and running through my veins Like a poison I must suck just to change my luck Where the rain beats down to wash away the dream we found Rain beat down... down... rain beat down Down Down Down Down Down Yeah Rain beat down... Dream come down
