Lyrics for Song: Sometimes (Lester Piggott)
Lyrics for Album: Fresh As A Daisy: The Singles [2007]
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)
