lyrics

I was watching the rain falling into the lake
water into water and the patterns it makes
like the ripples we caused
with our mistakes:

bottles of whiskey and bottles of wine
headaches and heartaches and gathering clouds
and the simple comfort
I found in your arms

It's late, late and
I knew what you wanted were
Lakes, lakes
and bodies of water
Please wait, wait
I'm holding my promises close

Down to Chicago you traveled so fine
with a passport photo and those old poems of mine
but the things on the shore
that you've left behind

The things that you carried were bending your neck
like an anchor or an albatross
like the little wars
in the folds of your dress

Like the sky below the trees
on the surface, hovering,
out where we cannot reach
