I heart this song. haven't listened to it in so long that as it plays to me tonight I am weeping. . .


Darlin' don't you understand I feel so ill at ease
the room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe.
take this guilded cage of pain and set me free,
take this overcoat of shame,
it never did belong to me... it never did belong to me.
I need to go outside I need to leave the smoke
for I can't go on living in this same sick joke.
it's seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
now that you have given me the perfect gift.
you have given me the gift.

for we have fallen from our shelves
to face the truth about ourseles.
and we have tumbled from our trees,
tumbled from our trees.

and I can almost... I can almost hear the rain falling...
don't you know it feels so good... feels so good...
so let's go out into the rain again...
just like we said we always would.
