lyrics

Verse 1
It is raining in the south
taste of oil in my mouth
been smellin it for days
and the tide is cashing in
all that dirt we're diggin in
we wagered in a craze

pre chorus:
and the puddle gets bigger
not little by little
i'm telling you it grows
and the sea gets thicker
and your heart beats quicker
and everybody knows
everybody knows

chorus:
that there is one patch of sky
the needle of its eye
you only see it when it rains
and there's a single spot of sea
touched the greed of you and me
you only see it cuz it's gone

post chorus:
and the birds of a feather
they're all stuck together
they can't fly away
you say it's not here in my way
i can go about my day
it'll all be okay
if it's not here in my mind
i can leave it far behind

verse 2:
now the clouds are rollin in
let the hurricane begin
don't stand there in a daze
