Text: Annie Lennox. Bare. Pavement Cracks.

The city streets are wet again with rain
But I'm walkin' just the same
Skies turn to the usual gray
When you turn to face the day

And love don't show up in the pavement cracks
All my water colors fade to black
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back
All my dreams have fallen flat

Love don't show in the pavement cracks
There will be no turning back

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

But it don't show up in the pavement cracks
I can't even cover up my tracks
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm light years back
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
There will be no turning back

Where is my comfort zone?
A simple place to call my own
'Cause everything I wanna be
Comes crashing down on me

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
I wish you well

Love don't show in the pavement cracks
There will be no turning back
