(Matt Johnson)

Tell me what you're thinking, baby.

Your heart's beating faster than mine.

And I know something's going on

In your life,

In your life,

In your life.

You were the girl I wanted to cry with.

You were the girl I wanted to die with.

(Sinéad)

And you were the boy who turned into the man,

Broke my heart and let go of my hand.

(both)

Our bed is empty, the fire is out.

And all the love we've got to give

Has all spurted out.

There's no more blood, and no more pain

In our kingdom of rain.

(Sinéad)

You think you know about life,

You think you know about love,

But when you put your hands inside me,

It doesn't even feel like I'm being touched.

And you were the boy I wanted to cry with,

You were the boy I wanted to die with.

You've moved further from my side, year by year,

While still making love, dutifully sincere.

(Matt)

But as silent as the car lights

That move across this room,

As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon.

And I would lie awake and wonder,

"Is it just me, or is this the way that love

Is supposed to be?"

Tell me what you told him, baby.

My heart's beating out of time with my mind,

And I know something's going wrong

In our lives.

(Sinéad)

I just wanted somebody to caress

This damsel in distress.

I just wanted somebody to undress

This damsel in distress.

I just wanted somebody to bless

This damsel in distress.

I just wanted somebody to possess

This young girl...

(both)

Our bed is empty, the fire is out.

All all the love we've got to give

Has all spurted out.

There's no more blood, there's no more pain

In our kingdom of rain.
