Verse One

Raining in the afternoon

Collected another grey day

Annabel, she'll be home soon

To see love wasted away

The cigarettes lie in the ashtray

From the night before the night before

I have what I thought would be true

The crowd is asking for more

Chorus

The rain washes me away

Let the rain come down

The rain washes me away

And I keep coming back for more

Verse Two

It's easy to get comfortable

In the fading surroundings

Just can't get this deal off the ground

Get this hummingbird to sing

ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.

The rain washes me away

Let the rain come down

The rain washes me away

And I keep coming back for more

Outro

Maybe it could be that good

Maybe if you slow it down...
