sometimes it never rains

it can't rain all the time

and if i seem to make no sense

i make no sense sometimes

sometimes it never shines

it can't shine all the time

and i can't speak through one more scene

i can't talk all the time

there's a promise in your mouth

is that what this was all about?

we've got to suck it in and shout 

it's been a long long time

sometimes i never talk

i can't talk all the time

and i can't see to find my feet

i can't sleep all the time

you've got to stop before you talk

because it's all been said before

you can't stop knocking down my door

it's been a long long long long time

sunday's child will fall from grace

and heaven holds the hands that pray

there's nothing here for me to say

with my name upon your face

there's no one counting down these days

there's no one here to hear you say

it's been a long long long long time

sometimes it never rains

it can't rain all the time

and if i seem to make no sense

i make no sense sometimes

sometimes it never shines

it can't shine all the time

and i can't speak through one more scene

i can't talk all the time

there's a promise in your mouth

is that what this was all about?

we've got to suck it in and shout 

it's been a long long time

you've got to stop before you talk

because it's all been said before

you can't stop knocking down my door

it's been a long long long long time

sometimes it never rains

it can't rain all the time
