Lyrics:

The 1982 Single version featured flutes and a saxophone solo. The album version was re-recorderd replacing the saxophone solo with a lengthy piano solo by Jools Holland.
Peeling the skin back from my eyes
I felt surprised
That the time on the clock was the time
I usually retired
To the place where I cleared my head of you
But just for today, I think I'll lie here and dream of you

I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in
But if the sweat pours out
Just shout
I'll try to swim and pull you out


A howling wind blows the litter
As the rain flows
And streetlamps pour orange colored shapes
Through your windows
A broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes
Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile

I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in
But if the sweat pours out
Just shout
I'll try to swim and pull you out
