Lyrics for Pavement Cracks by Annie Lennox from the album Bare

The city streets are wet again with rain
But I’m walking just the same
Skies turn to the usual grey
When you turn to face the day
Oh and love don’t show up in the pavement cracks
All my watercolours fade to black
I’m going nowhere and I’m ten steps back
All my dreams have fallen flat

(Love don’t show in the pavement cracks aha
There will be no turning back aha)

Time and space will pass us by and by
When we don’t see eye to eye
I would have done anything
For happiness to bring…
Ooh but it don’t show up in the pavement cracks
I can’t even cover up my tracks
I’m going nowhere and I’m light years back
Ooh I wish you well

How come
Everyday
I’m still waiting for the change?
How come
I still say
Give me strength to live?

(Love don’t show in the pavement cracks aha
There will be no turning back aha)

Where is my comfort zone?
A simple place to call my own
‘Cause everything I wanna be
Comes crashing down on me
Ooh and it don’t show up in the pavement cracks
I can’t even recognize my tracks
You and I can’t turn the whole thing back
Ooh I wish you well

(Love don’t show in the pavement cracks aha
There will be no turning back aha)

(Love don’t show in the pavement cracks
There will be no turning back)
