Take Away My Pain
(Album Version)

I was sitting on the edge of his bed
Staring at the headlines on the paper
He said, 'Look at poor Gene Kelly
I guess he won't be singing in the rain.'
You can take away my heroes
Can you take away my pain

    Take away my pain
    Leave the cold outside
    Please don't let it rain
    Don't stumble on my pride
    Take away my pain
    I'm not frightened anymore
    Just stay with me tonight
    I'm tired of this fight
    Soon I'll be knocking at your   
    door

She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces
He said, 'What else can you do, babe?
I guess I won't be coming home again.'
They just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain

    Take away my pain
    Leave the cold outside
    Please don't let it rain
    Don't stumble on my pride
    Take away my pain
    I'm not frightened anymore
    Just stay with me tonight
    I'm tired of this fight
    Soon I'll be knocking at your
    door

  His final scene
  The actor bows
  And all those years
  Are gone somehow
  The crowd applauds
  The curtain falls

I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
Then I saw you looking back at me
And I knew that for a moment
You were calling out my name
You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain

    Take away my pain
    Let the cold inside
    It's time to let it rain
    There's nothing left to hide
    Take away my pain
    I'm not frightened anymore
    I'm learning to survive
    Without you in my life
    Til you come knocking at my
    door...
