[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Oh God, it's raining, but I'm not complaining
It's filling me up with new life
The stars in the sky bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Just for a day on a day like today
I'll get away from this constant debauchery
The wind in my hair makes me so aware
How good it is to live tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight
[Interlude]
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Oh God, it's raining and I'm not containing
My pleasure at being so wet
Here on my own, all on my own
How good it feels to be alone tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
When my eyes had been so red
I'd been mistaken for dead
But not tonight
Oh God, it's raining, but I'm not complaining
It's filling me up with new life
The stars in the sky bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Just for a day on a day like today
I'll get away from this constant debauchery
The wind in my hair makes me so aware
How good it is to live tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight
[Interlude]
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Oh God, it's raining and I'm not containing
My pleasure at being so wet
Here on my own, all on my own
How good it feels to be alone tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
When my eyes had been so red
I'd been mistaken for dead
But not tonight
