She loves him But she doesn't want him She used to burn for him But now that's changed She knows he knows And she says it isn't so What else can she say? But when he reaches out She turns away. When he talks about it She says he's cruel So he apologises Counts his blessings What else can he do? She used to gaze at him reach out with her toes to touch him She still loves him But she doesn't want him And in her eyes, he's so much less Than the light heart she met The laughing boy she used to know He feels ugly now, and the ugliness, creeps around inside him Until he really is. The animal paws at him, gnaws at him The silver-back wins over him And in his pain, and bitter shame, he resents her. The one who loves him They said they'd never lie They'd learned their lessons from the last times They said that they could talk They could always talk Deceit stirs in them now for reasons good as well as bad But he wants so much Not to live another lie To be free and high again Trying to see the blue sky above the rain Trying to see the blue sky above the rain Remembering the blue sky above the pouring rain He s trying to see the blue sky above the rain He's flown there and he's seen it, been up there lighter than air, floating in the miracle But he can't fly until she wants him He can't burn until she sparks him He's dressed in lead from toe to head Trying to see the blue sky above the rain Remembering the blue sky above the rain Maybe they'll talk Soul to soul head to head heart to heart eye to eye Rise up to that blue space above the clouds Where troubles die And tears dry Heading West and climbing In that place the sun never stops shining The rain's below us.
