Brookes & Johnstone - Sunshine and Rain

It's been kind of rough
Here at the edge today
Sure could use a little sleep
Get away from the light, the noise and the hustle
My heart is heavy, my eyes are raw, my head is aching
A little time away from myself
Is that the best I can hope for?
Somewhere to remove myself
Lose myself
Collect myself in silence

The wind blows
The wind blows across a drifting tide

We started out as sunshine
We ended up as rain
We started out as sunshine
We ended up as rain

Say, do you know someone who might be carrying something a little stronger?
Something to lift me
Something to help me carry on
Something to keep me from sleeping
Because when I sleep I dream
And all I ever dream about is how much better things might have been
Had I been a better man
A stronger man
A line from J.J Cale to keep me from sleeping
And a little tequila to remind me who I am

The wind blows
The wind blows across a drifting tide

We started out as sunshine
We ended up as rain
We started out as sunshine
We ended up as rain

She started out as sunshine
She ended up as rain, as lovers often do
Especially the really good ones
Those few who get under your skin
The ones who make you crazy
Drive you to distraction, dissatisfaction
Hell, I would give anything to taste her again
Just one more time
Give me another shot of tequila
I don't want to go to sleep
When I sleep I dream
And all I ever dream about
Is how much better things might have been
Had I been a different man

We started out as sunshine
We ended up as rain
We started out as sunshine
We ended up as rain
We started out as sunshine
We ended up as rain
We started out as sunshine
We ended up as rain

We started out as sunshine
