Sometimes

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 the 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 buses 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 is hit, lit up against the sky like a sign, like a neon sign

And he crumples, drops into the gutter, cuts strange, 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 colors on 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 and puts my ear to his

And I swear I can hear the sea

Sometimes

(When I look in your eyes I can see your soul)

I can reach your soul

Sometimes

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

I can touch your soul

Sometimes

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

I can hear your soul

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

Sometimes

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

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

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

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

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

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