If life is just an ocean, with people in and out like the tide Then why can't I just drift along a gentle wave and smile If life is just a tapestry and heartache just a square in its weave Then why can't I just hang it up, praise the winding patterns, and heal Some words sound better in the rain Sometimes it hurts to hear my name If life is just a journey with a reason for each stop along the way Then why can't I just leave you behind and welcome the new day If life is just a lesson to be filed away like two and two Then why can't I just close the book on you Some words sound better in the rain
Sometimes it hurts to hear my name Once I was offered the Eiffel Tower by a Romeo on his knees But what good is the Eiffel Tower once that Romeo leaves Once I was offered a taste of pa**ion by a Romeo in the rain But what good is that taste of pa**ion when it comes with a measure of pain Some words sound better in the rain Sometimes it hurts to hear my name If life is just a yellow brick road with a rainbow at the end Then why can't I just close my eyes And why can't I just click my heels and hold my breath and mend Some words sound better in the rain Sometimes it hurts to hear my name
