Lyrics of Tears and Rain by James Blunt

verse

How I wish I could surrender my soul

verse

Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing

verse

How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead, I've found no meaning

chorus

I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble
It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain

verse

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind (hold memory close at hand)
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years (I wish you well)
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell

verse

How I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear

chorus

I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble

chorus

Far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain

bridge

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah (tears and rain)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah (tears and rain)

outro

Far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same, It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain
Writer(s): James Blount, Guy Antony Chambers
