trickle down the outside of the pane
tickle the sound inside my brain
are your eyes still as green
as the rain makes the grass
because I'm counting the drops
as a million go past
but I'm always watching one
I'm always watching one
go as cold as the streams that she runs past
we both know that nothing will last
no time to dream in the night
your last breath will come at first light
drumming wet on the windowsill
watching them tracing with water-made quills
you're halfway down and you're not slowing up
that green pleads for me to extend my cup
but you were born with only a surface to slide
that gives a fast girl nowhere to hide
but I'm always watching you
I'll try but
I'm always watching you
go as cold as the streams that she runs past
we both know that nothing will last
no time to dream in the night
your last breath will come at first light
it's a quick draw you made down the side of my pane
I'd miss you if the others weren't tapping my brain
cold as the streams that she runs past
we both know that nothing will last
no time to dream in the night
your last breath will come at first light
we can't because you will and I won't
we can't because I will and you won't
