Lyrics

He used to give me roses,

I wish he could again;

But that was on the outside,

And things were different then.

We'd built our world together,

With a love so clear and strong;

But that was on the outside.

Where did i go wrong?

CHORUS

On the inside the sun still shines,

And the rain falls down;

But the sun and rain are prisoners too,

When morning comes around.

VERSE 2

Last night i dreamed we were together,

Sharing all the love we've known;

Til i had to face the nightmare,

Of waking up alone.

CHORUS

On the inside the sun still shines,

And the rain falls down;

But the sun and rain are prisoners too,

When morning comes around.

On the inside the roses grow;

They don't mind the stoney ground;

But the roses here are prisoners too,

When morning comes around.

He used to give me roses,

I wish he could again;

But that was on the outside,

And things were different then.
