Before the Rain

Before The Rain

Duran Duran

a stormy summer

is rolling closer

lighting up this holy smoker

and if this drinking

could ease the thinking

I toast to my home truth with this glass

all rise you promises broken

call my lovers by their names

lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind

which blows before the rain

~~~~~~

little pin-pricks

and how my ears bleed

on the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat

in every life-flash

in every car crash

I hear the silence waiting to fall

all rise you promises broken

call my lovers by their names

lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind

which blows before the rain

~~~oh~~~

for all I carry

are murdered secrets

the price of my blue star-eyed weakness

and so we travel

and we unravel

towards the place where all loose ends go

all rise you promises broken

call my lovers by their names

lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind

which blows before the rain...
