Take me by the hand
you're smiling softly baby and..
..there's madness in your eyes : to hide the pain
as you lead me, barefoot,
out to watch the rain.
It falls softly like lovers tears.
You lean in close and sing softly in my ear,
some far away tune, i'm not really aware.
I'm praying somehow you can keep us there
because everything i am i want to be,
everything i want you gave to me.
You can almost see the heavens
and i never want this to end.
You warp your arms around me, hold me tight
don't worry these are tears of joy
that shine in my eyes,
and our world is shining too
a rain touched-beauty,
      like glass.
"shall we dance"
i hear you ask
you lead me, dancing, into the rain
"oh babe" i whisper "don't you ever change"

And the rain falls down your face
you're laughing and holding me close
"baby" he replies
"close your eyes"

My hair hangs in tangles.
My clothes are a second skin.
Your eyes dance with promise
and you're smiling.

   "you beautiful crazy man
   i just don't know if i can
   what if when i open them again
   everything has changed?"

"look now babe,
       it's still the same"
