She used to give me roses

I wish she could again

But that was on the outside

And things were different then.



We built our world together

With a love so clear and strong

But that was on the outside

Where did I go wrong?



On the inside the sun still shines

And the rain falls down

But the sun and rain are prisoners too

When the mornin' comes around.



Last night I dreamed we were together

Sharing all the love we've known

'Till I had to face the nightmare

Of wakin' up alone.



On the inside the sun still shines

And the rain falls down

But the sun and rain are prisoners too

When the mornin' comes around.



On the inside the sun still shines

And the rain falls down

But the sun and rain are prisoners too

When the mornin' comes around.



On the inside the roses grow

They don't mind the stony ground

But the roses are just prisoners too

When the mornin' comes around!
