St. Paul in the winter-Kids are crying for their dinner Quick smoke and a drink, then it's time for bed He said, "Why do you always seem so down? Is something lost that can't be found?" You wait, hesitate, and tell him you're okay But it's a lie-You can't look him in the eye 'Cause he won't ever understand you You want to believe, that things will change It worries your heart, oh to feel this strange Bu you can't stop the world-No, from spinning around You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down Down, down, down It's colder than I remember, at this time last December The win was blowin' and, the skies are always grey You said someday you're gonna leave that man...realize all that we've planned Start all over again, under the southern sun But it's a lie-You can't look me in the eye Knowin' I won't understand you Yeh I want to believe, oh that things will change And it worries my heart, yeh to feel this strange But I can't stop the world-No, from spinning around You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down I hope that you understand-You're always welcome at my door And I hope you understand, that I"m not hoping anymore...hoping anymore Yeh you want to believe, oh that things will change And it worries your heart, mmm to feel this strange But you can't stop the world-No, from spinning around You'll never stop the rain from fallin' down, down, down Down, down, down
