Текст Ryan Adams – Clean

The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we’d grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back-and-forth
You’re still all over me like a wine-stained shirt I can’t wear anymore

Chorus:
The rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that’s when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
Think that I am finally clean

There was nothing left to do
When the butterflies turned to dust, they covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs, and I screamed so loud
But nobody heard a thing

Chorus:
And the rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that’s when I could finally breathe
That morning, gone was any trace of you
Think that I am finally clean

Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you’re clean don’t mean you don’t miss it
Ten months older, I won’t give in
Now that I’m clean, I’m never gonna risk it
Now that I’m clean, I’m never gonna risk it

Chorus:
The rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that’s when I could finally breathe
