James
Sometimes (Lester Piggott)
[Verse 1]
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 the wall of rain, aerial held high
Calling, "Come on, thunder! Come on, thunder!"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
And he crumples, drops into the gutter
Cuts strange, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes
And delivers him on
Delivers him on
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
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 and puts my ear to his
And I swear I can hear the sea
[Outro]
Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes
And see your soul (I can reach your soul)
Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes
And see your soul (I can touch your soul)
Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes
And see your soul (I can hear your soul)
Sometimes, I look (sometimes) in your eyes
And see your soul
Sometimes, I look in your eyes
And see your soul
Sometimes, I look in your eyes
And see your soul
Sometimes, I look in your eyes
And see your soul
Sometimes, I look in your eyes
And see your soul
Sometimes, I look in your eyes
And see your soul
Sometimes, I look in your eyes
And see your soul
