Whenever it's a rainy day,
I light my troubles up in my room
I chase all the clowns away,
get myself back to the womb,
well I know that you're gonna cry,
tears are running from your eyes,
the piece of my life you take
Whenever you're miles away
I think of you the way you are,
your shining lips and auburn hair
And it don't seem quite so far,
well I know that you're gonna cry
My tears are running from your eyes
The peace of my life you've sent
To one that's so often brave
Well, I know that you're gonna cry
Tears are burnin' from your eyes
The piece of my life, you tell me,
is one that so often breaks.
