Called you
Yesterday
You didn't answer your phone
The main drag
Is knowing that
You probably weren't at home alone

So here I sit in my lonely room
Waitin' for my sunshine
But all I've got
Is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

You've been gone
17 days
17 long nights
The main drag
Is knowing that
You're holding someone else tight

I wanna call you
Everyday
And beg you to be near me
But I know your head is underwater
I doubt that you could hear me

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

You've been gone
17 days
17 long nights
The main drag
Is knowing that
You're holding someone else tight

So here I sit in my lonely room
Waiting for my sunshine
All I've got is 2 cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Living Colour

Living Colour is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1984. Stylistically, the band’s music is a creative fusion influenced by heavy metal, funk, jazz, hip hop, country, and alternative rock. Their lyrics range from the personal to the political, in some of the latter cases attacking Eurocentrism and racism in America.

Living Colour rose to fame with their debut album Vivid in 1988. Although the band scored a number of hits, they are best remembered for their signature anthem “Cult of Personality”, which won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1990. They were also named Best New Artist at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards and won their second Grammy Award for their follow-up album Time’s Up. After disbanding in 1995, Living Colour reunited in late 2000.
