St. Paul in the winter-Kids are crying for their dinner
Quick smoke and a drink, then it's time for bed
He said, "Why do you always seem so down?
Is something lost that can't be found?"You wait, hesitate and tell him you're okay
But it's a lie, you can't look him in the eye
'Cause he won't ever understand youYou want to believe, that things will change
It worries your heart, oh, to feel this strange
Bu you can't stop the world, no, from spinning around
You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down
Down, down, downIt's colder than I remember, at this time last December
The win was blowin' and, the skies are always grey
You said someday you're gonna leave that man
Realize all that we've plannedStart all over again, under the southern sun
But it's a lie, you can't look me in the eye
Knowin' I won't understand youYeah, I want to believe, oh, that things will change
And it worries your heart, oh, to feel this strange
Bu you can't stop the world, no, from spinning around
You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, downI hope that you understand, you're always welcome at my door
And I hope you understand that I'm not hoping anymore
Hoping anymoreYeah, you want to believe, oh, that things will change
And it worries your heart, mmm ,to feel this strange
But you can't stop the world-No, from spinning around
You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down
Down, down, down
