Night rain

The moon's eyes have shut
and now i sit alone
the clouds arms have spread
still i sit alone
the wind begins to whisper
as i sit alone
and drops of rain
(or my tears, i cannot figure out which...)
begin to fall
and freckle my face

my hair drips
my eyes are cold and wet
my skin is pale in the limelight
shining down from a nearby streetlamp
my breathing is in shallow gasps
i feel clammy cold and grey
i shiver
sitting in the middle of the street
is not my idea of fun
(but someone's got to do it...)

the drops of rain commit suicide
and i feel empty
the pavement shines like a japanese beetle
still i feel empty
all the flowers begin to look like tall shadows
as i feel empty
and i sit in a pool of tears
(or rain, i cannot figure out which...)
and i just moan
in my screaming sobs

my face was stained
by the night rain...
