What I Need - White Lies

Rain keeps coming down

On our unhappy town

Grey it’s bleak parade

Little drops of heaven’s shade

Rain keeps coming down

On children in their paper crowns

Daylight torn away

Litter for the night to raid

Feeling low

My eyes long to glow

My limbs turn numb

And I know the day is won

Give me some of what I need and

Give me more to take away

Sunshine for my sweet relief and

Honey through these bitter days

Rain keeps coming down

Beating colour to the ground

Teeth spat from wicked mouths

Shrieking up above the clouds

Rain, rain all around

Oh, you know it gets me down

I cannot leave my home

Leave the TV, leave the phone

Breathing slow

My heart only knows

The rain falls deep

Drumming down, down on me

Give me some of what I need and

Give me more to take away

Sunshine for my sweet relief and

Honey through these bitter days

Give me some of what I need and

Give me more to take away

Sunshine for my sweet relief and

Honey through these bitter days

Give me some of what I need and

Give me more to take away

Sunshine for my sweet relief and

Honey through these bitter days
