The strings are weeping
As the rain surrounds us
They stain the quiet
As the drops fall silent

Though the drops still fall silent
And the city is out of sight
Against the backdrop of the moonlight
All alone I understand what it all meant
All alone I understand what it always means

But if I understood what it all meant
Maybe I could find a reason

And if times were a season
We understand what it all meant
Wandering through the cool night air
All the time we tried and spent
Like a beautiful dream
Or a deep nightmare
