Gutters Full Of Rain Lyrics

Gutters Full Of Rain lyrics

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
