Rush Hour Rain

from Shadow Line Warnings by Bill White

/

lyrics

robin was a raven
in a black velvet cape
she barely touched the ground
before flying away

fly raven fly
beyond the black velvet sky
from darkness paroled
into the city of gold

the sunset old
we circle round to surround it
sunrise rises to confound it
and we are detained
in the rush hour rain

if you want to live
there is no way you can die
if you want to die
thats when you have to learn to live
though you be freezing
in the rush hour rain

in the rush hour rain
the sky is paralyzed
strangers become lovers
and kiss beneath street llghts
oh, to fall in love
deathly unafraid
as a dog who crosses a street
in the rush-hour rain

we had had so many lives
now we have so many ghosts
nomadic parasites
remembering their hosts
each one now stands alone
in the rush hour rain
