The Cure — Prayers for Rain

[Verse 1] You shatter me, your grip on me A hold on me so dull it kills You stifle me, infectious sense Of hopelessness and prayers for rain [Verse 2] I suffocate, I breathe in dirt And nowhere shines but desolate and drab The hours all spent on killing time again All waiting for the rain [Chorus] You fracture me, your hands on me A touch so plain, so stale it kills You strangle me, entangle me In hopelessness and prayers for rain [Verse 3] I deteriorate, I live in dirt And nowhere glows but drearily and tired The hours all spent on killing time again All waiting for the rain [Chorus] You fracture me, your hands on me A touch so plain, so stale it kills You strangle me, entangle me In hopelessness and prayers for rain [Outro] Prayers for rain Prayers for rain Prayers for rain
