Lyrics:
Opened my eyes had a dream last night that both my arms were broken,
Evenin' time,
Help me now or hold me down, i feel my world is tumblin',
Spiral down,
Oh my love i can`t let go,
Somethings wrong i can`t let go,
Natures cruel she laughs at me,
As i make my way through the century,
As i slowly turn to house dust,
Tumblin' down,
The rain comes down like a victory,
In sheets of shinin' memory,
Over and over,
Circlin' around,
Over and over,
can`t let go,
Somethings wrong i can`t let go,
Natures cruel she laughs at me,
Almost too much for my heart,
When it rains,
Oh tears my soul apart,
When it rains it rains so slowly,
In the city where i'm from,

Opened my eyes had a dream last night that both my arms were broken,
Evening time
Help me now or hold me down, i feel the world is tumbling
Spiralling down
Oh my love i can`t let go,
Somethings wrong i can`t let go,
Natures cruel she laughs at me,
As i make my way through the century
As i slowly turn to house dust
Tumbling down
The rain comes down like a victory
In sheets of shining memory
Over and over
Circling around
Oh my love i can`t let go
Somethings wrong i can`t let go
Natures cruel shes laughs at me
Almost too much for my heart
When it rains
Oh tears my soul apart
When it rains
It rains so slowly
In the city
Where i`m from
