Lyrics
All avenues are dark
Where a light once shone
But I still feel some rhythm
Through these wheels on the stone
CHORUS: As I navigate the blues
On a concrete sea
I?ve got a PERMANENT RAIN
Pouring over me
Well now I?ve wandered and squandered
Lusted and lost
Burned every bridge
That I trusted and crossed
CHORUS: As I navigate the blues
On a concrete sea
I?ve got a PERMANENT RAIN
Pouring over me
BRIDGE: Givin? up on love?s an easy habit to form
As crazy as tryin? to outrun a storm
You?ll find clouds above ya wherever you go
There to remind you of the love
You used to know
I?ve got my ramshackle heart
And my raggedy past
Sewn up like a flag
And tied to the mast
CHORUS: As I navigate the blues
On a concrete sea
I?ve got a PERMANENT RAIN
Pouring over me
I?ve got a PERMANENT RAIN
To wash the hurt down the drain (repeat)
Let the love remain (repeat and fade)
