Just outside my window I hear the late September dogs
|
And I understand their warning I understand their song
|
Since you left I feel the change in the air
|
And night after night I'm searching for mercy everywhere
|
So I wake in the street and I call out your name
|
I shout to the sky please
|
|
Come on let it rain
|
Let it rain down on me
|
Let the rain touch my hands
|
Let the rain set me free
|
Let it rain down on me
|
|
Silence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the bone
|
In dreams the hand that touches you is mine and mine alone
|
Cruel is the light is the morning shining down on me
|
Hours with the Devil to understand just what you need
|
So I wake in the street and I call out your name
|
Shout to the sky come on
|
|
Come on let it rain
|
Let it rain down on me
|
Let the rain fill my eyes
|
Let the rain set me free
|
Let it rain down on me
|
|
Just inside the distance I hear the late September dogs
|
And so I beg for sleep the child who walked before she crawled
|
Damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain
|
The spear in your side is me
|
|
Come on let it rain
|
Let it rain down on me
|
Let the rain touch my hands
|
Let the rain set me free
|
Let it rain down on me
|
