lyrics

A memorial rain falls on the highway in a pounding pour
The orange streetlamp exposes it like never before
Thunder shakes the windowpanes with a rumbling roar
As the lightning strikes blue
The darkening clouds head East across the racing sky
An eternal gap within them catches my eye
A last glimpse of the sunset like a truth among lies
Offers me silent hope
Across this light are dancing silhouettes by the looking to be seen
Innocent imaginations from the purest of dreams
They fade into each other and they fade into me
While their souls drift aloft
The colors are all encompassed and swallowed into night
The buckets are emptied and they’re coming down with all of their might
Put the book back under the bed my darling we don’t need last rites
For Heaven, my friend, Heaven is late
A memorial rain falls on the highway flooding memories
A skid mark a track mark and a constant vacancy
But I’ve seen the silhouettes and I know what they think they’ve seen
Heaven, my friend, Heaven is late
END
