Child in the Rain

I was just asking for some understanding
 Where the wall reaches the sea
 Just crying at the candid line
 That tore my heart from me
 Satisfied to be your lover, holding on to you
 I was beginning to forget all of the loves I never knew
 Flat on my back against the falling tree
 I'm hovering over the ravine
 Still full of everything I tried to say
 New canyons spilling out of me
 I see you everytime I close my eyes
 Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing
 You're not mourning the rebellion of putting up a house
 Or the joy of having children or even just a spouse
 You're just contemplating fire, you say you're not afraid
 You say the conflagrations holy the resetting of the day
 You're saying I should listen to it
 Sit down and really listen to it, sit down
 Flat on my back against the falling tree
 I'm hovering over the ravine
 Still full of everything I tried to say
 New canyons spilling out of me
 I see you everytime I close my eyes
 Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing
 Running through the forest
 Running through the forest
 Running through the forest
 When we stepped out of the tower
 On the seventy-third floor
 Saw the city stretched below us
 Saw what used to be the door
 Of a vast and empty floodplain
 And the river was so wild
 We suffocate the wilderness to entertain the child
 We suffocate the wilderness to entertain the child
 I remember the floodplain
 And the river was so wild
 Flat on my back against the falling tree
 I'm hovering over the ravine
 Still full of everything I tried to say
 New canyons spilling out of me
 I see you everytime I close my eyes
 Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing
 Running through the forest, laughing
 Running through the forest, laughing
 Running through the forest, laughing
