| Lyrics |
Now that all is stilled and silencedthat the rushing roaring daylighthas lost itself - its hysteriain the all-amassing night -I too gently lose myselfbeyond the open windowwhere a journey unfoldsinto the city of rain
Music's never made such living soundsabsorbing the night's rythemthe walls resonate with a thousand tiny drumssoft shards of liquid glass dance on metal pipesmixing dust and dirt and grimeinto a shining lubricating all-consuming oilsome drop away barely making contacteach bursting on impactinto a fountain in the airdribbling off the lips of window ledgessplashing silver splinters in the blacknessscales of lifted paint turn to almost living fleshsmearing - it slides and streams into a openingin the underworld belowrevealing secret routeswhere the trappes earth breathesyellow streetlight breaks its beam across the waterelectric currents hum, steaming in the dampnesscascades carry me awaywash away the tirednesscool the fetid air
I turn to where you're sleepinggently swimming through these hourson to morning - unawareand even though i knowall of this rise and disappearwith the dawn into the skytonight everything glistens -like a jewel under the raintonight the city is silenced -lost under the storm.
