From the recording I Am / I Was
Actually it's one of the first covers I worked on, and frankly I wanted it to taste a little bit like "West End Girls"...
I like it very much how it came out...

Lyrics
It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
Almost slowly
Plain for all to see
Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man
I thought no one could break
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
Nervously drumming on run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind
So, please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
You...!
Oh yeah...
Uhhhhh uh uh uh....
Please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do?
(Please now)
Talk to me
Tell me, tell me what to to
(Helpful)
How can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
