Familiar streets are not like a walk in the rain
Strangers don’t recall why I did it
But nature remembers without being asked
What happened was so long ago
But the sun and the moon are so very young
Because I told them I only trust children
Everything that is good lives in the wild
There is nothing for us to see but life
We feed them and water the things we love
I want you because I knew you once
It’s as if you stepped out of a dream
Who can I love if they never saw me sleep?
What I hear are the things we never talk about
What is calling are the sounds we try so hard know
Rain bouncing on dry streets are words for lovers
You are what I know but the mystery remains
It’s because you are only real to me as a shadow
You must live this way because indecision blocks the light
