How many days will the wet weather last? I want know will the clouds When they roll back
Reveal a man in an old mac Living on a park bench Sitting on his own? Cut the rain as it runs down the glass Eventually through the lightning and thunder We see a man going under This is how it happens This is what he said
I don´t need love Though temptation is sweet Give me your hand ´Til I´m back on me feet You´re always telling me about my misery I´ve seen things you will never see Don´t pity me
Focus in on the breath of a man
Who takes a brown paper bag From his knapsack Between his whispers and wise cracks He´s looking for permission Screaming at the sky
I don´t need love though temptation is sweet Give me your hand ´Til I´m back on me feet You´re always telling me about my misery I´ve seen things you will never see Don´t pity me
I´ll be right again Be upright without you I´ll stand up again Kick up a fuss again too
Cut back again to a girl walking by Until the feet that are all shoes and no socks Climb an invisible soap box Laughing at the traffic Shouting at the world
I don´t need love though temptation is sweet Give me your hand ´Til I´m back on me feet You´re always telling me about my misery I´ve seen things you will never see Don´t pity me
I´ll stand up again Kick up a fuss again too I´ll be right again
Be upright without you
We see a life through the eyes of a man As he live and he dies By a simple tattoo
I´ll be back again When I land on my feet I´ll stand up again Kick up a fuss again, wouldn´t you
Well there you go, though we tried hard to know him It´s there on his face He´s a case where there´s clearly no hope
Give me your hand again ´Til I land again
His face starts to fade As we pull down the shade And the picture we made Is in glorious cinemascope
