rain soft in the dark we take a left through the deepening park grass soaking and warm past the iron gates august has come and i want you so bad in my heart and i touch your shadowed fingers in the dark and the stars have fallen on this night like rain through the silence of the dark october lanes iron cold in the breeze the gate beneath the haunted trees swings as evening reveals your face so lovely and unreal and i want you so bad in my heart and i touch your shadowed fingers in the dark and the stars have fallen on this night like rain through the silence of the dark october lanes so here everything stays the dew on the gates has melted away and in your sunlit eyes i see my love and all the night  and i want you so bad in my heart and i touch your shadowed fingers in the dark and the stars have fallen on this night like rain through the silence of the dark october lanes
