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 see 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



When the rain came down

To wash away the dream we found

Now there's nothing left for me

But you can set me free



I won't deceive you neither believe you

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 get strong if we have to belong

'Cos we 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



When the rain came down

To wash away the dream we found

Now there's nothing left for me

Can you see?

See the rain beat down, rain come down



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 mystery, I see the failure

And it's bringing me down



I'm just a clown on a merry go round, going down

I see the rains falling down on the ground, down



And there's a dream we found

[Incomprehensible] on the ground

There for all to see

Now this 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

When the rain came down

To wash away the dream we found



The rain beat down

Down, down

Rain beat down, down, down

Down, yeah, yeah, yeah

Rain beat down, yeah, yeah, yeah

Rain beat down

Dream come down
