"Sometimes" lyrics

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 the 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, 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
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 touch your soul)
Sometimes, when I look in your eyes
I can see your soul
(I can reach your soul)
Sometimes, when I look in your eyes
I can see your soul
(I can reach 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
