Endlessly

The rain is coming down like needle-glass,

I watch the empty taxi cruisers pass,

The city breathes a heavy, tired sound,

While I am anchored to this piece of ground,

I saw the white-hot headlights split the night,

Realize I’m wired much too tight,

My jacket’s torn and heavy from the spray,

But I won't ever walk away,

You ask me if I’m proud, If I am torn,

And I brace against the scorn,

I’d rather be the man the weather broke,

Than be the one who never even spoke,

Oh, I love you endless in the storm,

Keeping all the ruined memories warm,

While the thirsty speakers beg for grace,

I’m reaching for the ghost of your face,

I shattered every record that we played,

To find the holy truth in what we made,

It’s dirty, it’s desire and it’s deep,

It’s the only sacred promise I can keep,

Let the rain drive into the pain,

Let the water wash away the stain,

I’m the only one who still remains,

Standing in the rain,

I love you endlessly,

Through the blinding noise,

I love you endlessly,

Just waiting in the rain.
