Lyrics[]
I don't feel a thing
And I stopped remembering
The days are just like moments turned to hours
Mother used to say
If you want, you'll find a way
But mother never danced through fire showers
Walk in the rain,
in the rain,
in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Is it right or is it wrong
And is it here that I belong
I don't hear a sound
Silent faces in the ground
The quiet screams, but I refuse to listen
If there is a hell
I'm sure this is how it smells
Wish this were a dream, but no, it isn't
Walk in the rain,
in the rain,
in the rain
I walk in the rain,
in the rain
Am I right or am I wrong
And is it here that I belong
Walk in the rain,
in the rain,
in the rain
I walk in the rain,
in the rain
Why do I feel so alone
For some reason I think of home
