What I Need

Rain keeps coming down
On our unhappy town
Grey it’s bleak parade
Little drops of heaven’s shade
Rain keeps coming down
On children in their paper crowns
Daylight torn away
Litter for the night to raid
Feeling low
My eyes long to glow
My limbs turn numb
And I know the day is won
Give me some of what I need and
Give me more to take away
Sunshine for my sweet relief and
Honey through these bitter days
Rain keeps coming down
Beating colour to the ground
Teeth spat from wicked mouths
Shrieking up above the clouds
Rain, rain all around
Oh, you know it gets me down
I cannot leave my home
Leave the TV, leave the phone
Breathing slow
My heart only knows
The rain falls deep
Drumming down, down on me
Give me some of what I need and
Give me more to take away
Sunshine for my sweet relief and
Honey through these bitter days
Give me some of what I need and
Give me more to take away
Sunshine for my sweet relief and
Honey through these bitter days
Give me some of what I need and
Give me more to take away
Sunshine for my sweet relief and
Honey through these bitter days
