Lyrics The Clientele - Nothing Here Is What It Seems

Raindrops falling on my shoulder
Play me like a violin
Nightmares rising in the alleys
Nothing here is what it seems

Oh my darling oh my darling
Let me come into your life
Let the rain fall in the garden
Turn the darkness into light
I’ve been loving you for so long
I’m just a shadow of myself
I’m just a shadow of myself

Shadows standing on my doorstep
No one calls and nobody rings
Nightmares rising in the alleys
Ravens on my roof today

All the lovers in their doorways
Hollow faces chasing dreams
Irises bloom in the borders
Nightmares rising from our sleep
Let the rain fall in your garden
That’s the only way death turns to life
That’s the only way death turns to life
