I have longed for light years
|
To have you next to me
|
Nothing but the big blue
|
As far as the eye can see
|
Diamondless fingers
|
Your love will always linger
|
After the years go by
|
This lonely archipelago
|
Won’t keep my thoughts at bay
|
I long for your sympatico
|
With every rolling wave
|
My heart sets sail
|
In the face of a woman’s betrayal
|
Now as the years go by
|
I know deep inside
|
When your mind’s on the money
|
Your heart’s in the gutter
|
You’re lying to yourself
|
When you lie with another
|
After the fire
|
The rain come tumblin' down
|
When all get to heaven
|
They’ll hand you a shovel
|
And you can dig your soul
|
From the rocks and the rubble
|
After the fire
|
The rain come tumblin' down
|
Tumblin' down
|
Water fill my foot prints
|
Cover up my tracks
|
Let me lose my memory
|
Or bring my lover back
|
Here on this shore line
|
I’ll pray for one more life time
|
After the years go by
|
I know deep inside
|
When your mind’s on the money
|
Your heart’s in the gutter
|
You’re lying to yourself
|
When you lie with another
|
After the fire
|
The rain come tumblin' down
|
When all get to heaven
|
They’ll hand you a shovel
|
And you can dig your soul
|
From the rocks and the rubble
|
After the fire
|
The rain come tumblin' down
|
And the floods came up
|
And the house on the rocks
|
Came crumblin' down
|
Like a fool, like a jerk in the cage
|
Who waits for his luck to change
|
When there’s no-one around
|
When your mind’s on the money
|
Your heart’s in the gutter
|
You’re lying to yourself
|
When you lie with another
|
After the fire, oh, oh oh
|
We’ll gather at the river
|
On judgment day
|
You’ll look into my eyes
|
And won’t know what to say
|
After the fire
|
The rain come tumblin' down
|
The rain come tumblin' down
|
(When your mind’s on the money)
|
(Your heart’s in the gutter) Your heart’s in the gutter
|
(You're lying to yourself)
|
(When you lie with another)
|
After the fire
|
The rain come tumblin' down
|
(When all get to heaven)
|
(They'll hand you a shovel)
|
(And you can dig your soul)
|
(From the rocks and the rubble)
|
After the fire
|
The rain come tumblin' down |
