Michelle Shocked - Waterproof lyrics

It's time you finally knew the truth Love was designed to be waterproof No use, child, to ask me why First you love and then you cry Love so gentle, love so mean Burst into tears, you make a scene You get dirty, you get clean The heart's a four-chambered washing machine Chorus As long as I can remember My dream was to live by the sea Washes over me Storm clouds gather, skies are grey Sun's gone on a holiday Live life like a drop of rain Fall and then you rise again So let the rain fall where it may Puddle jump it, that's okay Rolls off your back, you won't get wet Roll with the punches, better yet Chorus As long as I can remember In cold winter showers Time, that marvelous mender In spring, it brings the flowers It's time you finally knew the truth Love was designed to be waterproof Eat that fruit right off the vine First you're loving, then you're crying Chorus As long as I can remember That tides will reach the shore Love's many splendors Will carry me back once more Chorus As long as I can remember My dream was to live by the sea Your love so soft, warm and tender Washes over me Love was designed to be Waterproof
