Raining in Kyoto

Rainin' in Kyoto, it's floodin' the streets
I'm nursin' a coffee from a vendin' machine
I saw the god of rice, and a fox with a key, key

I woke up blind with a headache, grindin' my teeth
Confused and alone, been takin' pills to sleep
They soften your absence, but they don't let me dream, dream

Rainin' in Kyoto, my breath turns into steam
I'll buy you a candle, not even sure what it means
I'm cursed to the matches, I'm drownin' my grief, grief

An old man stood close by, smiled at me
I rang the bell like he did, I told you, "I'm sorry"
A makeshift funeral, I tried settin' you free

You're half asleep
And I bought you a radio
To drown out the machines

Hospital light
You asked about the weather
Wished that they'd let you outside

Rainin' in Kyoto, I'm starting to shake
They'll hold a service tomorrow, I'm an ocean away
Reach into my pocket, found a small paper crane

Well, it's been over a year now, April turns into May
I barely stopped movin', I've been so fuckin' afraid
Too much of a coward to even visit your grave

You're half awake
And I bought you a radio to play
The blues away

With my hand to hold
You asked about the weather
Wished they'd let you die at home

You're half awake
And I bought you a radio to play
The blues away

Hospital light
You asked about the weather
Wished that they'd let you outside

Goodnight, goodnight
Goodbye
