Sometimes (Lester Piggott)

There's a storm outside

And the gap between crack and thunder, crack and thunder

Is closing in, is closing in



The rain floods gutters and makes a great sound on concrete

On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against a wall of rain

Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder"



Sometimes when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul

Sometimes when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul



It's a monsoon and the rain lifts lids off cars

Spinning busses like toys, stripping them to chrome

Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else

Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore



The boy's hit, lit up against the sky like a sign, like a neon sign

Then he crumples, drops into the gutter, cut string, legs twitching

The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on



Sometimes when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul

Sometimes when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul



There's four new colours in the rainbow, an old man's taking Polaroids

But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain, endless rain

He says listen, takes my head, puts my ear to his

And I swear I can hear the sea



(Sometimes, I look in your eyes, I can see your soul)

I can feed your soul

(Sometimes, I look in your eyes, I can see your soul)

I can touch your soul

(Sometimes, I look in your eyes, I can see your soul)

I can feel your soul

(Sometimes, I look in your eyes, I can see your soul) (x7)
