"Tears And Rain" by James Blunt

 



  • Choose the correct option:

How I wish I could  my soul;
Shed the clothes that 
my skin;
See the liar that 
within my needing.
How I wish I'd 
darkness from cold .
How I wish I 
out loud ,
Instead I
no meaning.

 

 
  • Number the lines in the correct order ( from 1 to 11 )
    I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
    Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
    I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain
    It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain. 
    All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
    I'm so cold from fear.

How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
Hold memory close at hand,
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;

Help me understand the years.
How I wish I would save my soul.
