Rainy Night In Soho lyrics

Artist  : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds 
Song : Rainy Night In Soho
 


(S. MacGowan)

I've been loving you a long
time
Down all the years, down all the
days
And I've cried for all your
troubles
Smiled at your funny little
ways


We watched our friends grow up
together
And we saw them as they fell
Some
of them fell into heaven
And some of them fell
into hell


I took shelter from a
shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a
rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all
its charms


I sang you all my
sorrows
And you told me all your
joys
Whatever happened to that old song
To
all those little girls and boys
Those little
girls and boys


Now the song is nearly
over
We may never find out what it
means
But there's a light I hold before
me
And you're the measure of my dreams
The
measure of my dreams


These 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
morning
The gingerlady by my bed
Covered in
a cloak of silence
I hear you in my
head


I'm not singing for the
future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not
talking of the fist time
I never think about
the last


Now the song is nearly
over
We may never find out what it
means
Still there's a light I hold before
me
You're the measure of my dreams
The
measure of my dreams
