The Newport Chainsaws - Vienna Rain (Smith) (c) R Smith lyrics

rate me

Vienna Rain

I can still hear your voice

And your guilty innocence

“I just wanna see the world”, you said,

I said, “that’s what you think!”

You had a lot of big idea,

Right over our heads.

“There must be more than this!”

Yeah, thank God it ain’t found us yet!

Vienna Rain,

Is falling today

Though this might be London

It's still running down my face,

On the Gondolas of Venice,

On the banks of the Danube,

In the finest places in the world

You made me look a fool.

But I am still enveloped

In a fog of long ago,

With our black and white silhouettes entwined,

Scuttling through the shadows.

Vienna Rain

Is falling today

Though this might be Paris

It’s still running down my face.

In the clattering flashes of Milan

And the gutter-like glitz of Rome,

We just had to face to truth,

We were exposed.

I trailed after you

In every grubby little alley

In every filthy rat-ridden town

In every smog-ridden city

Now I’m trying to lose you

In these sewers of memory.

There must be more than this?

Yeah, we’re in it up to knees!

Vienna Rain

Is falling today.

This might be Berlin

The pain's still the same,

Memories won't fade,

Memories of your embrace.<br />
