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

Cut string, 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
