Matches in Rain Lyrics by Slam Bamboo

Slam Bamboo

1986

There's a pain in my heart
And it's going too far
Watching you (Watching you)
Wanting you (Wanting you)
I know what you're trying to do
So I lie in the sun
Tied to a stake
And the night never comes
You're watching me (Watching me)
Ignoring me (Ignoring me)
I know that you're laughing at me
You see me cry
And the tears roll down on you
And if you could cry
I know you'd cry the tears I cry for you
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
It's always the same
And it's happening again
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
You put out the flame
We're like matches in rain
Therе's a tear in my eye
And this tеar never dries
I cry for you (Cry for you)
I lie for you (Lie for you)
Just like I always do
Mm, but it does me no good
Standing in places
Where you've never stood
I walk around (Walk around)
Without a sound (Without a sound)
I feel like I'm being drowned
You see me cry
And the tears roll down on you
And if you could cry
I know you'd cry the tears I cry for you
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
It's always the same
And it's happening again
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
You put out the flame
We're like matches in rain
You see me cry
And the tears roll down on you
And if you could cry
I know you'd cry the tears I cry for you
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
It's always the same
And it's happening again
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
You put out the flame
We're like matches in rain
There's a thought in my head
How could I forget the way I'd been bled?
Watching you (Watching you)
Watching me (Watching me)
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
It's always the same
And it's happening again
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
You put out the flame
We're like matches in rain
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
Oh, we're like matches in rain
(You pull me up)
Up into the clouds
(You pull me down)
Down to the ground
We're like matches in rain
