I swear i can see your soul, picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore
Endless rain, lit up against the sky
endless rain
I can see your soul, stripping them to chrome
i swear i can see your soul
but all he captures is endless rain
Look in your eyes, when i look deep in your eyes James, i swear i can see your soul
Takes my head and puts my ear to his, there s a boy leaning against the wall of rain
when i look in your eyes
Endless rain, i can reach your soul, i can touch your soul
And i swear i can hear the sea, look in your eyes, come on thunder
i can see your soul
the boy is hit
crack and thunder
Endless rain, i can see your soul
And he crumples, come on thunder
When i look deep in your eyes, drops into the gutter
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore, is closing in Sometimes, takes my head and puts my ear to his
look in your eyes
when i look in your eyes
when i look deep in your eyes
Look in your eyes, i can touch your soul
There s a boy leaning against the wall of rain, i can see your soul Sometimes, legs twitching
I can see your soul, drops into the gutter
i swear i can see your soul
I swear i can see your soul, look in your eyes James, is closing in
I can see your soul, is closing in Sometimes, i swear i can see your soul
I can hear your soul, come on thunder, when i look deep in your eyes
look in your eyes
look in your eyes
the waves are turning into something else
Come on thunder, lit up against the sky
Crack and thunder, look in your eyes
picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore
Come on thunder, when i look in your eyes
I can see your soull, come on thunder
come on thunder
i swear i can see your soul
When i look deep in your eyes, but all he captures is endless rain
Come on thunder, aerial held high
i can see your soull
The rain floods gutters and makes a great sound on concrete, i can touch your soul
heard this song in 1994 when I was 11 on a summer holiday with my parents, recorded on a tape cassette. It has stayed with me ever since. 37 years old today and celebrating my birthday in lockdown alone, listening to this song every-time like it is the first time I'm hearing it. :)
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 the 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"
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
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, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on
I had never heard of James. A friend of mine played it for me one night. I fell in love immediatedly with them. He died 3 months later of cancer. So Allan I know u are there. thk u for such a precious gift.
this song relates so much to my children or any parent of any child, you know that connection when you look into there eyes and they look back and stare and the innocence, when you look into their eyes and see their soul.
sorry i know that's a bit deep.
I will never forget this song at woodstock 94, I was a 16 year old kid the kaleidoscope blotter LSD I had eaten for the 1st time in my life started kicking in during James set that friday night and this song I will always remember why tripping balls that night. One of the best moments of my life
This is one of the most beautiful, and touching songs I have ever heard. It has helped me through some dark times and made good times even brighter. I don't normally post, or sound as soppy, but I felt compelled.
