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 you
   You 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, down
   It'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 planned
   Start 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 you
   Yeh I want to believe, oh that things will change
   And it worries my heart, yeh to feel this strange
   But I can't stop the world-No, from spinning around
   You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down
   I hope that you understand-You're always welcome at my door
   And I hope you understand, that I"m not hoping anymore...hoping anymore
   Yeh 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 fallin' down, down, down
   Down, down, down
