lyrics

When the rain came down

And when the rain came down
I finally fell asleep
The distant thunderstorm
Aligned with my heartbeat
Wild, heavy
In the heat

Where did I come here from
The truth is, I don't know
After the tiredness
I grab my things and go
And search, for your
Sweet defeat

They weigh heavy on my chest
These years of loneliness
They can bring a good man to his knees

Now, I'm not saying I'm good
It's not that I don't try
It must be this gypsy soul
That always says goodbye
Love, turns and
Skips a beat

They weigh heavy on my chest
These years of loneliness
They can bring a good man to his knees

And when the rain came down
I finally fell asleep
Dreamt of the one who will
Align with my heartbeat
Wild, heavy
In the heat
