I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
All the promises we break from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
Promises are shit
We speak the way we breathe
Promises, promises, I all
Through with promises, promises now
All these words that I hear spoken
Just promises broken
All the promises you whispered to me
I guess they were meant for someone else
'Cause all I hear is the soft evening rain
And the blues I sing to myself
I’ll do my crying in the rain.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain
(Ah, ah)
Oh, no, don’t let the rain come down
My roof’s got a hole in it and I might drown
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let your love rain down on me.
When the May rain comes
All this will be washed away
For I was born with a habit, from a sign
The habit of a windswept thumb
And the sign of the rain
Rain on me
Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
Standing on the beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Sandman, I’m so alone
Don’t have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
“Come on home, girl,” he said with a smile
“You don’t have to love me yet, so let’s get high awhile
But try to understand, try to understand, try, try, try, to understand
I’m a magic man.”
You have to believe we are magic.
Nothin’ can stand in our way.
This flame that burns inside of me,
I’m hearing secret harmonies
It’s a kind of magic
Remember,
After the fire
After all the rain
I will be the flame
