Listen: studio version, live version
Rain is falling it’s Saturday night
Birds are looking for shelter with all their might
And you and I are laughing about yesterday’s fight
You hold my hand and you sip your beer
The music’s soft and we sit so near
You and I are laughing about yesterday’s tears
Funny how a sudden rain
Doesn’t seem to ever change a thing
Funny how those sweet clouds keep on rolling
Funny how tonight it feels so right
And yesterday the whole world was exploding
You kiss my neck and you whisper my name
You light two cigarettes with the same flame
And you and I we’re just laughing about yesterday’s pain
I’ve got nowhere to be in the morning it’s true
Except for in bed with my arm around you
And I’ll hold you so tight I’ll hold you so close
You and I will be laughing about yesterday’s woes
Funny how a sudden rain
Doesn’t seem to ever change a thing
Funny how those sweet clouds keep on rolling
Funny how tonight it feels so right
And yesterday the whole world was exploding
You and I are such a strange organism
We feed on suffering and maybe that’s the reason
We make each other so mad
But right now wouldn’t feel so good if then hadn’t felt so bad
Funny how a sudden rain Doesn’t seem to ever change a thing Funny how those sweet clouds keep on rolling Funny how tonight it feels so right And yesterday the whole world was exploding
