Downpour

by Ocean-Storm_Bayberry-Moon

When we were on the tarmac I thought you were an art thief I found out this place is plugged into your heartbeat When we were in the car park I thought you were a card cheat Turns out this town is hooked up to your heartbeat I thought you were a raincloud I found out you're a hurricane When I met you on the ice floes Your wings were looking damaged I got so flustered just watching you try to flutter When the moonlight was your halo I was paralysed by the tension Turns out your gravity was all that held me in suspension I thought you were a raincloud It turns out you're a hurricane I got whipped by the wind, my hair got all sandy But I was as prepared as a person like me can be When we saw the horizon I was the places you'd never been to Now you're the current the power lines tapped into And I've got my own problems I know that you can't solve them But somebody's got to keep this hamster wheel revolving I took you for a raincloud You're a fucking hurricane We had our crumbling temple and our row of golden pews When I remember this in ten years All I'll think about is you We had our shining tower and our unobstructed view When they try to trace the power They'll see it was always only you I thought you were a raincloud But you're a hurricane I got caught in your downpour You soaked me to my frame
