Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
It's a madman's situation, Reminiscing in the rain, And I've lost your love again, I call your name. And I don't want to think about it When I go to sleep at night, Can you hear it in the wind? I call your name. I call your name... And I close the door behind me, I turn the lights all down, There's no-one there beside me, I call your name. And I don't want to think about it But I wind up all the same, Nothing'll ever change, I call your name. I call your name... Lie awake under the stars, Lie awake under the stars. I call your name...
