lyrics

Here we go again, here comes the pain again,
I don't know if I can take the strain any more -
I'm shipwrecked and miles from the shore.
I know the chance I take: these days are drawing late,
I'm holding on - but I know this war, I may never win.
This is the doubt setting in.

Here comes the rain from the dark of the sky
I've been hiding in corners living a lie
Get me out of this place -
This is the falling from grace.
The world is changing, I don't understand.
Why are they talking in the shadows,
All about the fool that I am?
I'm drowning in the shifting of the sands.

Here we go again, on my own again,
But I can't stand, against insurmountable odds,
I put my faith in the hands of the Gods...
And as midnight souls read from ancient scrolls
I lie awake waiting for a voice in the night,
Or a pathway leading to the light.

Here comes the rain from the dark of the sky
I've been hiding in corners living a lie
Get me out of this place -
This is the falling from grace.
The world is changing, I don't understand.
Why are they talking in the shadows,
laughing at the fool that I am?
I'm drowning in the shifting of the sands.

Sir Sydney Smythe-Blake for his family's name's sake
Hung himself by the neck
Before the paper could say,
What it was he'd been hiding away.
And as the funeral made it's way along Ealing-Broadway
The mourners in the line
All marching in time said:
"What a disgrace, this was to be the falling from grace."
The lady of the house (dancing to the music of Strauss) declared:
"There will be no tears, this marriage has been loveless
for fucking years"...and she said:

"Here comes the rain from the dark of the sky
I've been hiding in corners living a lie
But now I'm out of that place -
There will be no falling from grace.
The world is changing, I don't understand.
Why are they talking in the shadows,
laughing at the fool that I am?
I feel lifeblood gather in these hands."
