Dire Straits
Hand in hand

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 youd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
As youd sleep Id think my heart would break in two
Id kiss your cheek Id stop myself from waking you
But in the dark youd speak my name
Youd say baby whats wrong ?
Oh ? here I am baby Im coming back for more
Im like a wave thats got to roll into the shore
Yes and if my loves in vain how come my love is so strong ?
If I been hard on you I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody youd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to

Now you and me go parallel together and apart
And you keep your perfect distance and its tearing at my heart
Did you never feel the distance
You never tried to cross no line
Now its another dirty river and another dirty scar
And I dont know whos kissing you and I dont know where you are
So far from home dont you thing of me sometime
If I been hard on you I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody youd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
If I been hard on you I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody youd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
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
