A Song For a Lover Of Long Ago

Rain on the bar

Clinging water mars

Any hints of what I had

Because of what I became

Rain you are me

shake the memory free

can't squelch the molten soul

cant chase away the hole

I have buried you

Every place I've been

You keep ending up

In my shaking hands

Rain, sound the alarm

The sting my broken arm

The faintest violinist buried in my gut

There are chances and choices sometimes you just have to cut

I have buried you

Every place I've been

You keep ending up

In my shaking hands

I have buried you

Every place I've been

You keep ending up

Every place I am

I have buried you

Every place I've been

You keep ending up

In my shaking hands

You keep ending up

Every place I've been

In my shaking hands

Every place I am
