by the window up in the bedroom i can hear the storm come from many roads away and it brings the night if the ones who died sit around me i hope they re going to stay and that maybe you ll arrive in the rain that s rolling in these summer nights i feel you on my skin winter came as a load frozen down to the bone i lived here half asleep walking out to the road empty drunk and alone in hopes you d come to me before the morning before you re running but why are you running where are you running home once i knew you lay my head upon your lap once i knew you in your eyes a calming light once i knew you and your hand upon my back once i knew you in a life ain t coming back
