lyrics

Before the rain came I met a sweet thing
She changed everything but my name
Opened my eyes, mended my wounds
And showed me how my heart could move
Before she went away she spent a thousand days
Spinning it around like a top
And when the news came, I finally knew pain
When I felt that spinning stop

(Chorus)
On cold stone
Out in the rain
I'll spin this top
On her grave

Standing in the rain while the seasons change
With nothing but my hollow name
Nothing left to fear, I traded all tears
For a new mirror and an old shoe box
Filled with her pictures and letters
And a rose that knows the tune of wilting alone
And the remnants of her scent still lingers on the letters
In the box where the flower fades

(Chorus)

Since shes been gone, I've been trying to get a move on
But I just can't find the strength in me to leave
Been cemented in this ditch, I've barely moved an inch
It seems my feet they don't obey me
Then Adam showed me his brand new tattoo
He said the world don't stop turning just for you
Yeah, love can jade you and stain your heart blue
But Jack, it still moves

(Chorus)
