I blogged the lyrics to James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover" a few days ago. Like I wrote in my last entry, I've been listening a lot to that song and "Tears and Rain". Here are the lyrics to the latter song.

I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing
I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I've found no meaning

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain

I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years
I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell
I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble

Far, far away; find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain

Tears and rain

Tears and rain

Far, far away; find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain

I don't know why, I fucking love this song!
