Raindrops in the Night

Like raindrops in the night, we dance at the world's end,
As it all crashes down and burns beyond horizon's reach
Nothing ever breaks clean, and splinters pierce too deep to mend
And bury themselves, to scar, the lessons of loss to teach.

But were it all foreseen, the pain, the sorrow, the joy,
The union, the parting, the waters of fondness that flow,
I'd still let them wash over me,
But now I'm afraid to see

That forever is no more
But lover let me implore you
To wait a little more time
For a moment so sublime to come.

And she and I a train, headed too fast for the buffer,
With no brakeman on board to save us this time
So we sit back, relax and wait for our collision,
It's the easy way to face all of the decisions that we'll make

But were it all foreseen, the pain, the sorrow, the joy,
The union, the parting, the waters of fondness that flow,
I'd still let them wash over me,
But now I'm afraid to see

That forever is no more
But lover let me implore you
To wait a little more time
For a moment so sublime to come.

Here comes the end, creeping, stalking our hands entwined,
Its shadow lurking in everyday delight,
Prising them apart, destroying by design
Here comes the end, it's followed forever and now's the time.

But were it all foreseen, the pain, the sorrow, the joy,
The union, the parting, the waters of fondness that flow,
I'd still let them wash over me,
But now I'm afraid to see

That forever is no more
But lover let me implore you
To wait a little more time
For a moment so sublime to come.

That forever is no more
But lover let me implore you
To wait a little more time
For a moment so sublime to come.
