Manila - Ray Dalton

I know there's something I need to know What time of day Do raindrops fall? Not all at once, but it's like a wave (Wave) I'm on my own And I just can't be saved Checking the clock one time's enough (Woah) Living life on a fine line's rough (Woah) But when my hands are tied (Woah) It don't matter at all I can't help myself (I'm running, I'm running, I'm running) But to keep looking straight (I'm running, I'm running, I'm running) Till buddy slipped through stones Mi ami, a rose was raised Gliding across a streak of blue Pot of gold in the desert Rainbows in underworld Don't you go back to where the temperature's rising Where bridges can't stop the rain anymore Don't you think you should've known? You needed someone to call When the summer tide began to fall Biking down the middle of the street, and Flying beyond your senses Lacking common sense and Singing songs of freedom I do think about it sometimes And I'm wondering if he would do the same Checking the clock one time's enough (Woah) Living life on a fine line's rough (Woah) But when my hands are tied (Woah) It don't matter at all I can't help myself (I'm running, I'm running, I'm running) But to keep looking straight (I'm running, I'm running, I'm running) Till buddy slipped through stones Mi ami, a rose was raised

Deep inside your heart Lie the wires that bind you Sky blue in the mornings Till you change your mind Quick as you ran to the station Past the tucked away locations There's no simple definition When you move there's no hesitation Kara, you're like the heat of Manila Skies, they get clearer When they see you Kara, you're like the sound of Manila Rainfall in summer Bright lights in December In the darkness You find a way to smile Broken roads you've walked on I know you've walked on for a while Quick as you ran to the station Past the tucked away locations There's no simple definition When you move there's no hesitation Kara, you're like the heat of Manila Skies, they get clearer When they see you Kara, you're like the sound of Manila Rainfall in summer Bright lights in December Quick as you ran to the station Past the tucked away locations There's no simple definition When you move there's no hesitation Kara, you're like the heat of Manila Skies, they get clearer When they see you Kara, you're like the sound of Manila Rainfall in summer Bright lights in December

She's traveled round the world To see her home again The place she left so many years ago She felt some fears for changes there And all unspoken pain But she had hope enough to face this great unknown When missing years bring sadness And tears to wipe away What's been lost cannot be gained In just a single day Now it's raining here in Manila And she sees two worlds with different eyes It's raining here in Manila Can the sun come shining through these cloudy skies She's traveled more than miles To be back home again The friends she left and all her family It's taking time to heal And see what love remains But she has hope enough to face her destiny When the worlds collide for her It needs a tender heart And some loving arms to join To reclaim those years apart Now it's raining here in Manila And she sees two worlds with different eyes It's raining here in Manila Will the sun brake through these cloudy skies It's raining here in Manila And she sees two worlds with different eyes It's raining here in Manila Will the sun break through these cloudy skies Will the sun break through these cloudy skies
