When the rain commandeered 
What's left of your heart 
Some traitor signals in your head 
That's when you know the music won't start 
And the ocean has left you for dead  | 
    | 
When the rain commandeered 
What's left of your heart 
Some traitor signals in your head 
That's when you know the music won't start 
And the ocean has left you for dead  | 
That tiny white star that shone from afar 
The dancer you knew in Algiers 
The woman with the spell 
She knew you so well 
Still her magic couldn't turn back the years  | 
    | 
That tiny white star that shone from afar 
The dancer you knew in Algiers 
The woman with the spell 
That you knew so well 
Still the magic never turned back the years  | 
Slow down my friend 
Oh I fear the end 
With a feeling I cannot reveal 
And the booze and the stuff 
Cannot fill me enough 
So just leave me with my half of the deal  |

Slow down my friend 
I fear the end 
Some feeling I cannot reveal 
And the booze and the stuff 
Cannot fill me enough 
Just leave me with my half of the deal  | 
That brilliant hit 
Man, it got you so lit 
That a candle could never compete 
Snow falling down 
On sanctified ground 
Life on forever repeat  |

That brilliant hit 
Man, it got you so lit 
That the candle could never compete 
Snow drifting down 
On sanctified ground 
Life on forever repeat  |
