RAINING

Though the air is heavy upon us And night has settled in Settled in to stay, unmoving And not a breath of wind Though it is still tonight, and silent And nothing stirs the air Somewhere it is Raining And the rain falls Not so far from here Not so far from here

The dark is seeping around corners And swirls around our feet Lying over the world Useless and heavy And vaster than the sea Like the sea it strands us Each to an island Alone in our rooms We look up from our beds and watch the clouds Race across the Moon Race across the Moon

Somewhere it is raining, it is raining

It may not fall for me But it's falling Not so far from here Not so far from here
