St. Paul in the winter-Kids are crying for their dinner

Quick smoke and a drink, then it's time for bed

He said, "Why do you always seem so down? 

Is something lost that can't be found?"

You wait, hesitate, and tell him you're okay

But it's a lie-You can't look him in the eye

'Cause he won't ever understand you

You want to believe, that things will change

It worries your heart, oh to feel this strange

Bu you can't stop the world-No, from spinning around

You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down

Down, down, down

It's colder than I remember, at this time last December

The win was blowin' and, the skies are always grey

You said someday you're gonna leave that man...realize all that we've planned

Start all over again, under the southern sun

But it's a lie-You can't look me in the eye

Knowin' I won't understand you

Yeh I want to believe, oh that things will change

And it worries my heart, yeh to feel this strange

But I can't stop the world-No, from spinning around

You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down

I hope that you understand-You're always welcome at my door

And I hope you understand, that I"m not hoping anymore...hoping anymore

Yeh you want to believe, oh that things will change

And it worries your heart, mmm to feel this strange

But you can't stop the world-No, from spinning around

You'll never stop the rain from fallin' down, down, down

Down, down, down
