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.
