Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Rainy Night In Soho Lyrics
(s. macgowan)Ive been loving you a long timeDown all the years, down all the daysAnd Ive cried for all your troublesSmiled at your funny little waysWe watched our friends grow up togetherAnd we saw them as they fellSome of them fell into heavenAnd some of them fell into hellI took shelter from a showerAnd I stepped into your armsOn a rainy night in sohoThe wind was whistling all its charmsI sang you all my sorrowsAnd you told me all your joysWhatever happened to that old songTo all those little girls and boysThose little girls and boysNow the song is nearly overWe may never find out what it meansBut theres a light I hold before meAnd youre the measure of my dreamsThe measure of my dreamsThese last two verses are not sung by nick, but are part of the original song as written by shane macgowan:Sometimes I wake up in the morningThe gingerlady by my bedCovered in a cloak of silenceI hear you in my headIm not singing for the futureIm not dreaming of the pastIm not talking of the fist timeI never think about the lastNow the song is nearly overWe may never find out what it meansStill theres a light I hold before meYoure the measure of my dreamsThe measure of my dreams
