So much blood I'm starting to drown It runs from cold to colder Time to time the skies come down And help me lose my way Tears and lies for answers You and open veins God knows I'm gone Girl I just want you to Come on down Lord there's a storm in my head and if all these Sins are mine and I've done wrong Though they come on down Long gone day Oh whoever said we'd wash away with the rain See you all from time to time Isn't it so strange how far away we all are now Am I the only one who remembers that summer Oh I remember everyday each time a place was saved The music that we made The wind has carried all of that away Long gone day Mmmmmmmm whoever said we'd wash away with the rain So many tears I'm startin to drown The rains in heaven must all come down Silver spoons that fix the crown The luckless ones are broken Fears and lies for answers You and open flames God knows I'm gone and I just want you to come on down Lord there's a storm in my head and if all these Sins are mine and I've done wrong I want you to Oh I just want you to come on down I fear again like then I lost my way Shout to god to bring my sunny day
