Hand In Hand

Dire Straits

The sky is crying the streets are full of tears 
Rain come down wash away my fears 
And all this writing on the wall 
Oh I can read between the lines 
Rain come down forgive this dirty town 
Rain come down and give this dirty town 
A drink of water a drink of wine 

If I been hard on you I never chose to be 
I never wanted no one else 
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to 
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to 

As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two 
I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you 
But in the dark you'd speak my name 
You'd say baby what's wrong? 
Oh here I am baby I'm coming back for more 
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore 
Yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong? 

Now you and me go parallel together and apart 
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart 
Did you never feel the distance 
You never feel the distance 
You never tried to cross no line 
now it's another dirty river and another dirty scar 
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are 
So far from home don't you think of me sometime 

Sky is crying see the streets are full of tears 
Rain coming down to wash away my fears 
And all this writing on the wall 
Oh I can read between the lines
