As Night Fell, We Dreamt of Rain
We lay here
Dread twilight
Gloaming falls
Burning sky
Acrid smoke
Through open windows
Lean over and close
Hold you so
The radio's on
Just static and stars
Did we collapse
Like buildings
Our fevered fugue state
Lashing tongues, bodies twined
All I am is all of you
Skin to skin, palm to palm
All that we are
As we drift to sleep
Could we wish for tomorrow
Will tomorrow ever come
We lay here
Open and exposed
Threw open windows
Watching it all burn
No time for clothes
No time for sense
When it's all on the brink
No time for troubled minds
Or worried hearts
Just come back to sleep
Did we collapse
Like ruined buildings
Our fevered fugue state
Could we wish for a tomorrow
That may never come
Did we enmesh
Become two souls in egress
If we leave this world tomorrow
Was it all worth it
Was it worth it
Such quiet dreams
Peaceful reveries
Rainclouds
On horizons far
But coming
I close my eyes
You take my hand
We feel the sun on our skin
And as the light goes
Covered by the storm
Washed clean by the water
Reborn
Three AM and I wake to the sounds
Of sirens in the streets across the water
You sleep undisturbed so pure
Outside the window the cities burn
With no rain to be seen
I go back to sleep
Five AM but no sunlight comes in through the blinds
I wake again and you're still asleep
I can't keep myself under in those sweet things
For all that long now
You stir and I watch you turn
So beautiful in the low light of the room
I would give it all for you, I know
I watch the city burning from out the window
The skies rip open wide and the rain floods down
Across the water and covers the streets
Is this all real or did I go back to sleep
Did we rise this morning knowing it may never come
Did we cling together when it all went wrong
Oh could we wish for a forever now
That tomorrow's finally come
Dread twilight
Gloaming falls
Burning sky
Acrid smoke
Through open windows
Lean over and close
Hold you so
The radio's on
Just static and stars
Did we collapse
Like buildings
Our fevered fugue state
Lashing tongues, bodies twined
All I am is all of you
Skin to skin, palm to palm
All that we are
As we drift to sleep
Could we wish for tomorrow
Will tomorrow ever come
We lay here
Open and exposed
Threw open windows
Watching it all burn
No time for clothes
No time for sense
When it's all on the brink
No time for troubled minds
Or worried hearts
Just come back to sleep
Did we collapse
Like ruined buildings
Our fevered fugue state
Could we wish for a tomorrow
That may never come
Did we enmesh
Become two souls in egress
If we leave this world tomorrow
Was it all worth it
Was it worth it
Such quiet dreams
Peaceful reveries
Rainclouds
On horizons far
But coming
I close my eyes
You take my hand
We feel the sun on our skin
And as the light goes
Covered by the storm
Washed clean by the water
Reborn
Three AM and I wake to the sounds
Of sirens in the streets across the water
You sleep undisturbed so pure
Outside the window the cities burn
With no rain to be seen
I go back to sleep
Five AM but no sunlight comes in through the blinds
I wake again and you're still asleep
I can't keep myself under in those sweet things
For all that long now

So beautiful in the low light of the room
I would give it all for you, I know
I watch the city burning from out the window
The skies rip open wide and the rain floods down
Across the water and covers the streets
Is this all real or did I go back to sleep
Did we rise this morning knowing it may never come
Did we cling together when it all went wrong
Oh could we wish for a forever now
That tomorrow's finally come
