Child in the Rain

I was just asking for some understanding Where the wall reaches the sea Just crying at the candid line That tore my heart from me Satisfied to be your lover, holding on to you I was beginning to forget all of the loves I never knew Flat on my back against the falling tree I'm hovering over the ravine Still full of everything I tried to say New canyons spilling out of me I see you everytime I close my eyes Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing You're not mourning the rebellion of putting up a house Or the joy of having children or even just a spouse You're just contemplating fire, you say you're not afraid You say the conflagrations holy the resetting of the day You're saying I should listen to it Sit down and really listen to it, sit down Flat on my back against the falling tree I'm hovering over the ravine Still full of everything I tried to say New canyons spilling out of me I see you everytime I close my eyes Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing Running through the forest Running through the forest Running through the forest When we stepped out of the tower On the seventy-third floor Saw the city stretched below us Saw what used to be the door Of a vast and empty floodplain And the river was so wild We suffocate the wilderness to entertain the child We suffocate the wilderness to entertain the child I remember the floodplain And the river was so wild Flat on my back against the falling tree I'm hovering over the ravine Still full of everything I tried to say New canyons spilling out of me I see you everytime I close my eyes Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing Running through the forest, laughing Running through the forest, laughing Running through the forest, laughing
