[Verse 1]:
I've been a bad
I've been a bad messenger
Like a vulture
I was drawn to her
And it's my fault
She slipped from the light
Now she's in love
With the life on the dark side
[Refrain]:
Clouds, please rain on me
Clouds, come wash me clean
[Verse 2]:
I took her down
I took her down underground
Like a demon
I would drag her around
And it's my fault
She dissolved in the night
Now she's in love
With the life on the dark side
[Refrain]:
Clouds, please rain on me
Clouds, come wash me clean
[Instrumental]:
Like a vulture I've been waiting
Like a vulture I've been waiting
[Bridge]:
Like a vulture I've been waiting
Waiting for the moment
Like a window on the darkness
Leaving the way open
Like a vulture I've been waiting
Waiting for the moment (Shadow in the heart)
Like a window on the darkness
Leaving the way open (Shadow in the heart)
Like a window on the darkness
Leaving the way open
[Outro]:
Clouds, please rain on me
… come wash me clean
