sometimes it never rains
it can't rain all the time
and if i seem to make no sense
i make no sense sometimes

sometimes it never shines
it can't shine all the time
and i can't speak through one more scene
i can't talk all the time

there's a promise in your mouth
is that what this was all about?
we've got to suck it in and shout
it's been a long long time

sometimes i never talk
i can't talk all the time
and i can't see to find my feet
i can't sleep all the time

you've got to stop before you talk
because it's all been said before
you can't stop knocking down my door
it's been a long long long long time

sunday's child will fall from grace
and heaven holds the hands that pray
there's nothing here for me to say

with my name upon your face
there's no one counting down these days
there's no one here to hear you say
it's been a long long long long time

sometimes it never rains
it can't rain all the time
and if i seem to make no sense
i make no sense sometimes

sometimes it never shines
it can't shine all the time
and i can't speak through one more scene
i can't talk all the time

there's a promise in your mouth
is that what this was all about?
we've got to suck it in and shout
it's been a long long time

you've got to stop before you talk
because it's all been said before
you can't stop knocking down my door
it's been a long long long long time

sometimes it never rains
it can't rain all the time
