Purple water, sunlit Sky
Tell me your dreams I'll get you high
Wasn't it easy being with her today
Oh Lord you've got to get this boy through one more painful day

Where is the rainbow, why can I only see clouds
Don't be indifferent but don't be too proud
Proudly he smiled his hand on her skirt
Don't go making promises someone always gets hurt

PAIN
NO ONE COULD TELL YOU ABOUT PAIN
YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE IN PAIN
AND WHEN THE ENDING FINALLY CAME
I WAS STANDING IN THE COLD
CAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING MORE
THAT YOU COULD TELL ME ABOUT PAIN

Purple water, moonlight beam
What's wrong with that a man's got to dream
Dreams are just shadows they've nothing to give
A man's got to wake up and a man's got to live

But living gets harder bit by bit
When dreams are in pieces and the pieces don't fit
If you had seen it the way we all cried
You'd never have left us, you'd still be alive

PAIN
NO ONE COULD TELL YOU ABOUT PAIN
YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE IN PAIN
AND WHEN THE ENDING FINALLY CAME
I WAS STANDING IN THE COLD
CAUSE THERE WAS NOT MUCH MORE NOTHING MORE
THAT YOU COULD TELL ME ABOUT PAIN
