Sometimes

There's a storm outside

And the gap between crack and thunder

Crack and thunder is closing in, is closing in

The rain floods gutters

And makes a great sound on concrete

On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against a wall of rain

Aerial held high

Calling, "Come on, thunder! Come on, thunder!"

Sometimes when I look deep in your eyes

I swear I can see your soul

Sometimes when I look deep in your eyes

I swear I can see your soul

It's a monsoon

And the rain lifts lids off cars

Spinning buses like toys

Stripping them to chrome

Across the bay

The waves are turning into something else

Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore

The boy is hit

Lit up against the sky like a sign

Like a neon sign

Then he crumples

Drops into the gutter

Cut strings

Legs twitching

The flood swells his clothes

And delvers him on

Delivers him on

Sometimes when I look deep in your eyes

I swear I can see your soul

Sometimes when I look deep in your eyes

I swear I can see your soul

There's four new colours in the rainbow

An old man's taking Polaroids

But all he captures is endless rain

Endless rain

Endless rain

He says, "Listen"

Takes my head, puts my ear to his

And I swear I can hear the sea

(Sometimes when I look in your eyes I can see your soul)

Sometimes, I can reach your soul

(Sometimes when I look in your eyes I can see your soul)

Sometimes, I can touch your soul

(Sometimes when I look in your eyes I can see your soul)

Sometimes, I can hear your soul

(Sometimes when I look in your eyes I can see your soul)

Sometimes

(Sometimes when I look in your eyes I can see your soul)

(Sometimes when I look in your eyes I can see your soul)

(Sometimes when I look in your eyes I can see your soul)

(Sometimes when I look in your eyes I can see your soul)
