Hand in Hand

Lyrics

The sky is crying, the streets are full of tears
 Rain come down, wash away my fears
 And all this writing on the wall
 Oh, I can read between the lines
 Rain come down, forgive this dirty town
 Rain come down, and give this dirty town
 A drink of water, a drink of wine
 If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
 I never wanted no one else
 I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
 Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
 As you'd sleep, I'd think my heart would break in two
 I'd kiss your cheek, I'd stop myself from waking you
 But in the dark you'd speak my name
 You'd say, "Baby what's wrong?"
 Oh, here I am baby, I'm coming back for more
 I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
 Yes, and if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong?
 If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
 I never wanted no one else
 And I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
 Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
 Supposed to be
 ♪
 Now you and me go parallel together and apart
 And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
 Did you never feel the distance
 You never tried to cross no line
 'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
 And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
 So far from home, don't you think of me some time
 If I been hard on you, I never chose to be
 I never wanted no one else
 I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
 ♪
 Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
 ♪
 Well, sky is crying, see the streets are full of tears
 Rain come down, wash away my fears
 And all this writing on the wall
 Oh, I can read between the lines
