Boz Scaggs - Painted Bells lyrics

Winding down the Drury Lane I fall with the evening rain My thoughts with the water flow Like steam rising off the road Pa**ers-by watch their step To see that they don't get wet And I'll just sit beneath this tree Let the drops fall all over me And watch the city lights flick on The crowds collide just out of my reach The taxi's lights flash up and down the street I sit and watch the faces go by I don't wonder where to or why Cos it's me the rain my warm dark pain Alone at ease and nowhere at all My thoughts just drift on back to you It seems you're here so it must be true We never parted you never went away So I order up another gla** Not to let the moment pa** Turning around in love with you Oh I know you loved me too And it's always been this way Here sitting in my wet cafe I catch a spark across the way A string of tiny painted bells Seem to have a tale to tell A string of tiny painted bells On someone that I once knew well Is all that's left The rest's not true I smile I see it's really you The rain will go And you will too And I order up another gla** Not to let the moment pa** Turning around in love with you Oh it got too hard to do And it's always been this way Yes it's always been this way
