St. Paul in the winter-Kids are crying for their dinner
Quick smoke and a drink, then it's time for bed
He said, ";Why do you always seem so down?
Is something lost that can't be found?";
You wait, hesitate, and tell him you're okay
But it's a lie-You can't look him in the eye
'Cause he won't ever understand you
You want to believe, that things will change
It worries your heart, oh to feel this strange
Bu you can't stop the world-No, from spinning around
You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down
Down, down, down
It's colder than I remember, at this time last December
The win was blowin' and, the skies are always grey
You said someday you're gonna leave that man...realize all that we've planned
Start all over again, under the southern sun
But it's a lie-You can't look me in the eye
Knowin' I won't understand you
Yeh I want to believe, oh that things will change
And it worries my heart, yeh to feel this strange
But I can't stop the world-No, from spinning around
You'll never stop the rain from falling down, down, down
I hope that you understand-You're always welcome at my door
And I hope you understand, that I";m not hoping anymore...hoping anymore
Yeh you want to believe, oh that things will change
And it worries your heart, mmm to feel this strange
But you can't stop the world-No, from spinning around
You'll never stop the rain from fallin' down, down, down
Down, down, down

St. Paul
Sister, sister
Tell me, where are you running?
To take some comfort with your family and friends?
Tell me why it always feels like I'm running
And why no place feels like home in the end
Don't feel like home
Maybe St. Paul is a place for us
Maybe St. Paul I can rest my weary head
Maybe St. Paul is a lie I tell myself to help me forget
Never one to look myself in the mirror
Never one for prolonged goodbyes
And everyone can feel the hurt when I'm leaving
Never one to feel the hurt when you cry
Don't feel the hurt
Maybe St. Paul is a place for us
Maybe St. Paul I can rest my weary head
Maybe St. Paul is a lie I tell myself to help me forget
Maybe I'm just too tired to say what's really on my mind
Maybe we're just too scared to say what we're thinking all the time
All the time.
Maybe St. Paul is a place for us
Maybe St. Paul I can rest my weary head
Maybe St. Paul is a lie I tell myself
Maybe St. Paul is a place for us
Maybe St. Paul I can rest my weary head
Maybe St. Paul is a lie I tell myself to help me forget
Sister, sister can you tell me why?
