Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Headlights flash across a rain soaked road
As one more day evaporates and goes
Silhouette against a flashing light
Another stranger falling through the night
[Chorus]
And if you never learn to cry
How will you ever say goodbye?
And if you're too afraid to die
How will you ever lean to fly away?
[Verse 2]
Columbine and fool Pierrot
A hopeless case, another four hundred blows
Story lines and old postcards
A swansong madness, Sunset Boulevard
[Chorus]
And if you never learn to cry
How will you ever say goodbye?
And if you're too afraid to die
How will you ever lean to fly away?
[Chorus]
And if you never learn to cry
How will you ever say goodbye?
And if you're too afraid to die
How will you ever lean to fly away?
