Paul Kelly - Wanted Man (2002) by Paul Kelly (보컬) on maniadb.com

She comes and goes, like summer rain.
I wait all day for summer rain.
And when she comes, I smile again
She cools my brain, like summer rain.

She'll change your plans like summer rain
I raise my arms to summer rain.
I lift my head and taste again.
The sweet, sweet drops of summer rain.

She's warm, she's fresh like summer rain
She comes in a rush, like summer rain.
And when she comes she makes a change,
I'll wait all day for summer rain.

I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset.
Rain was falling, it looked like it would for a while.
I had a radio, six-pack and some cigarettes.
The radio died after the first hundred miles.

I sang all the way to the border
And guess who starred in every rhyme.
Ah you know and I know that love never runs on time.

I followed that old river 'til the morning.
I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town.
But the colour of the coffee was a warning,
It was the colour of the river but not nearly as brown.

The waitress poured me another,
I guess she was .. feeling kind (alt: the mind reading kind).
You know and I know that love never runs on time.

You're lost in the traffic.
I've been asking around, but you haven't been seen.
I never thought we were perfect.
Oh but darling - what we could have been!

The rain came and went all the next day.
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side.
Then I gunned it back out on the highway,
Hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive.

I never heard a love song yet
That I could call yours and mine.
Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.

I never heard a love song yet
That I could call yours and mine.
Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time

Something's frying on the floor below
I'm leaning out my window
The sky's on fire, the street's all aglow
And somebody's singing to the radio

I would jump from the sixteenth floor if I only could get next to you
Put my head in a lion's jaw if I only could get next to you

I'm walking the floor, I'm climbing the walls
I wake up from dreaming, that's when I fall

I would jump from the sixteenth floor if I could only get next to you
Put my head in a lion's jaw if I only could get next to you
Take a ride on a wrecking ball

Every day I speak your name
If I had wings I'd fly 'cause you're not here to hold me
I would jump from the sixteenth floor
Put my head in a lion's jaw
I'd walk on burning coals
I'd sell my only soul

Every day I speak your name
If I had wings I'd fly 'cause you're not here to hold me

I'd walk on burning coal,
I'd sell my only soul
I would jump from the sixteenth floor,
put my head in a lion's jaw
Take a ride on Niagara Falls if I only could get next to you
