A little pain Won't hurt you A little rain Will show you what you've got A little pain won't hurt you A little pain will wake you up Big old sky Runs out of blue sometimes You get nervous And lose a little time These old love letters Ain't gettin' better In a while You feel like leavin' At the crack of dawn You take your dusty boots And sneak out of the living room New years' in sweden Can't get you what you're needin' The wound is sick of bleedin' But The waiter Wears a silly tie The piano roars "as time goes by" The same old chords Combined With a new fine bottle of wine The dames are meltin' In the midday heat I pawned my champagne glass To the sea When the teardrops fall You'll be all by yourself Countin' all these Lowdown years Causes nothing But burned out tears So i will do my best And remember To forget
