Every drop of rain on my tongue   Slips and drips a different tune   Pots and pans that clamor    Through the doorway to your patient room   Elephants in every corner   Smitten by the way you move   Writhe from any pang of disenchantment that I stir in you      Push away the beams of morning   Paralyzed by pleasures unknown   Secret lovers in their fashions   Waste their time all alone      Oh, the march we made along the streets   Set ablaze our orphan eyes with little pine leaves   We all bear a similar stature    Feeling lighter laying on the concrete      Oh, my heedless voice   Be softer still   If there's anything you haven't destroyed   There'll be time to rejoice      Every day that stumbles by   I throw away like a paper plane   Into a dark black cloud where   Hope is sparse and lightning reigns   If we ever make it through   I swear to you, I'll guide us home   To a nest of sheets and springs   Where lovers never sleep alone      Oh, my heavy heart   Find another reason to beat   If I can't find comfort here   I'll leave you and admit defeat
