  • The next song is...

  • one of those that you can use for whatever you want to use it for.

  • You can use it for relationships if that makes you feel better...

  • but it was written about a time when I was 12 or 13.

  • I didn't write it then, it's just about that time...

  • when my mother had cancer, and she's okay now...

  • but it was weird to be that age, taking care of yourself, your mom...

  • and, "Mom sleeps all the time, why?" You don't get it.

  • And that was the song that came out of it...

  • and nobody picked up on it, which, like I say, it's just as good...

  • because I think it would lose something universal about a song...

  • that makes it special to everybody because you take it into your own...

  • and use it for everyone, but if you want to, while you listen to it...

  • you can use it for that.

  • She said it's cold outside She hands me my raincoat

  • She's always worried about things like that

  • She said it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault

  • And she only sleeps when it's raining

  • And she screams

  • And her voice Is straining

  • She says

  • It's 3 AM, I must be lonely

  • And she says, baby

  • Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

  • But the rain’s gonna wash away I believe it

  • And she's got a little bit of something

  • And God it's better than nothing Nothing

  • And In her color portrait world she believes she's got it all

  • And she swears the moon don't hang Quite as high as it used to

  • I think she's crazy

  • And she only sleeps when it's raining

  • And she screams

  • But her voice Is straining

  • She says

  • If it's 3 AM,I must be lonely

  • And she says,baby

  • Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

  • But the rain’s gonna wash away I believe it

  • And she believes that life’s made up of all that you're used to

  • And the clock on the wall Has been stuck at 3

  • For days and days and days

  • She thinks that happiness Is a mat that sits on her doorway

  • Yeah,but outside It's stopped raining

  • And she says

  • It's 3 AM,I must be lonely

  • She says,baby,baby

  • Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

  • But the rain’s gonna wash away I believe it

  • Thank you very much.

The next song is...
