There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground
And swallows circling with shimmering sound
And frogs in the pools, singing at night
And wild plum trees in tremulous white
And no one would mind neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly
And spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone
Shine down on me
Shine down on me
And I can't follow on, I can't follow on
Shine down on me
Shine down on me
And I can't follow on, I can't follow on
Before I fade into black
So, these words will all resonate in my head
Stick to the clean walls before they spread
Through my veins they will run down
Meet me at sundown
So, no songs will soothe all of this blight for me
I'm content with bliss disguised as apathy
But just for once I'd like to watch it burn
When the sun
Will rise again
Will rise again
And I can't wait to see the sun rise again
Sing me to sleep
Shine down on me
Shine down on me
And I can't follow on, I can't follow on
Shine down on me
Shine down on me
Full blooming flowerhead, I can't follow on
It's on the back of my hand
On the tip of my thumb
Forever inked in dust
Right on top of my lungs, my lungs
Every sight in your eyes
Resonates in my hull
Everywhere in my frame
For the rest of my life, my life
I know one day that I will sing of love and how we shared
This intimacy of touching skin holds more that it once held
But for now I keep my mouth shut until the night I stumble home
'Cause when we're gone then we are one and when were gone
Then we are one
