R.E.M. - Time After Time etc. Lyrics

Ask the girl of the hour by the water towers watch
If your friends took a fall, are you obligated to follow

Time after time after time
If your tired and you're tried you can find me in my room
You can stay if you want and the third time you can't lose

Time after time after time
Time after time after time

If the bulls on his hooves, when you gather friends by the tower
If you try to refuse, will they judge your worth by the hour?

Time after time after time
Time after time after time

Red rain is coming down
Red rain is coming down
Pouring down on me
I come to you defenses down with the trust of a child

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I'm not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city in the mountains there is a boy without a dream

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversations dimmed
Go buy yourself another dream, this choice wasn't mine

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I would swim the ocean deep
Climb the highest mountain peak
I come to you defenses down with the trust of a child
