Rain Garden Songtext
The rain garden in the parking lot behind the Coney Island
Silent cars astray, pregnant with lonely riders scrolling the hours
I was a witness
They'll say it's just a Tuesday
But loneliness can maim

The rain garden under sodium lights, the water flowing
Beyond the pines, servants of the forest dancing mazurkas
I am by myself
They'll say it's just a rainy night
But loneliness can harm

The rain garden gave me an answer, though it yielded not
But two doves of mourning, half-full Baja Blast, a sunset receding
I am deserving of love
They'll say it's just a love song
But love
But love has found me
Clay-birthed, shale-born
They found me

They came to the city searching for me
My love found me
They have a neck of jewels
Their mind is gold and silver

My love is a feast
I am drunk on them
We sleep
Honey on the lips
Sugar under the tongue
In the vineyards of the night
They are the queen of the night

O my love, my love
O my love, my love
Make way for my love
My love, make way for my love
O my love, make way for my love

My love, kiss me
Kiss me before I go
Kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me before I go
Kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me before I go
Kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me
