  • Cigarette lit, my plan's to quit
    And I know I can but I know I will forget it
    Stuck here, I need something quick
    Jus' to stop me thinking

    Always out
    Always in
    It's calling to me...

    Excuse me, please
    What have you got
    T'get me out of my head
    While I've still got the courage
    And not so out, just out enough
    'Til I feel like I'm taking off

    The rain falls down, I'm not alone
    Covers all of us with silver light
    In silver light, and all, I beg you, stay with me
    Let it rain all night

    What a gift, this short visit
    I know I'll go just as quick as I came in
    Matchstick, my finger tip
    To stop me thinking

    Always out
    Always in
    It's coming to me

    Excuse me please
    What have you got?
    Get me out of my head
    While I've still got the courage
    And not so out,
    Just out enough
    'Til I feel like I'm taking off

    When the rain falls down, it's all alone
    And covered all of us with silver light
    In silver light and all, I beg you, stay with me
    Let it rain all night

    I'm always out
    Always in
    It's calling to me

    And not so out,
    Just out enough
    'Til I feel like I'm takin' off

    And the rain falls down, I'm not alone
    And covers all of us in silver light
    In silver light and all, I beg you, stay with me
    Let it rain all night, oh

    The rain falls down, I'm not alone
    It covers all of us in a silver light
    In silver light, and lord I beg you, stay with me
    Let it rain all night Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
