The Rain in Spain                                       Sophie Dunér © 2000

Once upon a time

I was bigger than life

I had my coffee black with no milk

Then you saw me standing

So high on that mountain

Then you saw me falling

The curtain was closing

I saw myself

through binoculars eyes

The camera was rolling

It was all in the past

Then my second self

Came along to enlighten me

She said to myself

It was all about a theft

Here comes the rain drops falling

I saw my mirror crashing

Truth slaps my face, I’m calling

For oxygen and water 

Once upon a time

I was smarter than life

I had my mind

In front of my eyes

Then you came along

So free to insult me

You said to yourself

What a waste of a life

I thought I knew

All that there was to know

I thought I’d crossed the limits

But my circle was closed

Than my second self came along to confess me

She said to myself it was all ´bout a lie

Here comes the rain drops falling

I saw my mirror crashing

Truth slaps my face, I’m calling

For oxygen and water 

For oxygen and water

For oxygen and water

For oxygen and water
