songs in my head

the past days have been rainy again. no, i did not make any special rain-wishes. but i suppose the heavens know me oh so well that i need not make any requests. hmmm. i guess that ought to make me feel a lot better.

anyway, here are some of the songs playing on my pc right now. ok, so they're not the usual music fare for me - but hey, they certainly fit my current mood. hmm. i do not think they are particularly significant; but i like listening to them at the moment.

feeling surreal again. songs.. songs.. songs. i don't even have the right words now..


Pavement Cracks
Annie Lennox

The city streets are wet again with rain
But I'm walkin' just the same
Skies turn to the usual grey
When you turn to face the day
And love
don't show up in the pavement cracks
All my water colours fade to black
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back
All my dreams have fallen flat


(Love don't show in the pavement cracks
There will be no turning back)

Time and space will pass us by and by
When we don't see eye to eye
I would have done anything
For happiness to
bring ...
But it don't show up in the pavement cracks
I can't even cover up my tracks
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm light years back
Ooh I wish you well

How come
Every day
I'm still waiting for the change?
How come
I still s
ay
Give me strength to live?

Where is my comfort zone?
A simple place to call my own
'Cause everything I wanna be
Comes crashing down on me
And it don't show up in the pavement cracks
I can't even recognise my tracks
You
and I can't turn the whole thing back
Ooh I wish you well

KISS THE RAIN
Billie Myers

Hello...
Can you hear me
Am I getting through to you

Hello...

Is it late there
Is there laughter on the line
Are you sure you’re there alone
Coz I’m
Trying to explain
Something’s wrong
You just don’t sound the same

Why don’t you
Why don’t you
Go outside
Go outside

Kiss the rain
When
ever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone too long
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain


And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We’re under the same sky
And the night’s
As empty for me as for you
If you feel
You can’t wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss th
e rain

Hello...
Do you miss me
I hear you say you do
But not the way I’m missing you

What’s new
How’s the weather
Is it stormy where you are
You sound so close but it feels like you’re so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew

What I’m left imagining
In my mind
My mind
Would you go
Would you go

Kiss the rain

As you fall
Over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me

Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone too long
If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We’re under the same sky
And the night’s

As empty for me as for you
If you feel you can’t wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

(kiss the rain)
(kiss the rain)

(kiss the rain)

Hello...
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me


EVERYTIME IT RAINS

Anita Cochran

The sun isn't shining, I see the clouds rolling in
It reminds me of the day and the words we said
The thunder and lightning is just about to begin
And I'm out here in the cold that's left over from the storm
Once again

'Cause every time it rains
your memory comes pouring in

And every drop that falls,
it burns like alcohol flowing through my veins

Until the winds of change come
and blow the clouds away

I'll still feel the shame and deal with the pain
Every time it rains

Maybe I'm foolish and I'll get through this I know
It just hurts inside that we couldn't weather our storm
The last time I saw you I knew the damage was done
'Cause we didn't make it, we didn't get to see the lightning breaking
From the sun

'Cause every time it rains your memory comes pouring in
And every drop that falls, it burns like alcohol flowing through my veins
Until the winds of change come and blow the clouds away
I'll still feel the shame and deal with the pain
Every time it rains

Until the winds of change come and blow the clouds away
I'll still feel the shame and deal with the pain
Every time it rains
