Hand In Hand
The sky is crying, the streets are full of tears
Rain come down, wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can read between the lines
Rain come down, forgive this dirty town
Rain come down, and give this dirty town
A drink of water, a drink of wine
If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
As you'd sleep, I'd think my heart would break in two
I'd kiss your cheek, I'd stop myself from waking you
But in the dark you'd speak my name
You'd say, "Baby what's wrong?"
Oh, here I am baby, I'm coming back for more
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
Yes, and if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong?
If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
And I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Supposed to be
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
Did you never feel the distance
You never tried to cross no line
'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
So far from home, don't you think of me some time
If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Well, sky is crying, see the streets are full of tears
Rain come down, wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can read between the lines
Rain come down, wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can read between the lines
Rain come down, forgive this dirty town
Rain come down, and give this dirty town
A drink of water, a drink of wine
If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
As you'd sleep, I'd think my heart would break in two
I'd kiss your cheek, I'd stop myself from waking you
But in the dark you'd speak my name
You'd say, "Baby what's wrong?"
Oh, here I am baby, I'm coming back for more
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
Yes, and if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong?
If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
And I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Supposed to be
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
Did you never feel the distance
You never tried to cross no line
'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
So far from home, don't you think of me some time
If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
Well, sky is crying, see the streets are full of tears
Rain come down, wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can read between the lines
