Let the Rain Put Me to Sleep

Let the Rain Put Me to Sleep
Jack Green

Let the rain put me to sleep
Darkness be my lullaby
And the thunder bring my dreams
All the things that I have seen
Have faded into the past
However, I still hear the screams

In my heart…. An open wound…in my heart
In my heart…an open wound…in my heart

Do you hear my voice still calling?
Ringing from the distance
When you shut your eyes at night
Your name was cut into my arms
Your face burned in my heart
Even though it ‘s far from sight

In my heart…. An open wound…in my heart
In my heart…an open wound…in my heart

Do you look at your scars the way I look at mine?
Do you feel the way I do?
The ones on my arms can fade away
On my chest, they cut right through
Do you hear my voice still calling?
Ringing from the chasm in my mind

In my heart…. An open wound…in my heart
In my heart…an open wound…in my heart
