Sounds That Can't Be Made

She loves him 
But she doesn't want him 
She used to burn for him 
But now that's changed 
She knows he knows 
And she says it isn't so 
What else can she say? 
But when he reaches out 
She turns away 


When he talks about it 
She says he's cruel 
So he apologises 
Counts his blessings 
What else can he do? 
She used to gaze at him reach out with her toes to touch him 
She still loves him 
But she doesn't want him 


And in her eyes, he's so much less 
Than the light heart she met 
The laughing boy she used to know 


He feels ugly now, and the ugliness, creeps around inside him 
Until he really is
The animal paws at him, gnaws at him 
The silver-back wins over him 


And in his pain, and bitter shame, he resents her. 
The one who loves him 


They said they'd never lie 
They'd learned their lessons from the last times 
They said that they could talk 
They could always talk 
Deceit stirs in them now for reasons good as well as bad 


But he wants so much 
Not to live another lie 
To be free and high again 
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain 
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain 
Remembering the blue sky above the pouring rain 
He's trying to see the blue sky above the rain 


He's flown there and he's seen it, been up there lighter than air, floating in the miracle 
But he can't fly until she wants him 
He can't burn until she sparks him 
He's dressed in lead from toe to head 
Trying to see the blue sky above the rain 
Remembering the blue sky above the rain 
Maybe they'll talk 
Soul to soul head to head heart to heart eye to eye 
Rise up to that blue space above the clouds 
Where troubles die 
And tears dry 
Heading West and climbing 
In that place the sun never stops shining 
The rain's below us
