lyrics

I got up, it was late in the evening; I put on my shoes, and took a walk.
I was thinking about a story that had yet to be written.
I don't remember exactly how I met you, but there was something wrong
with your hair; it was getting in the way of something,
and you didn't like it.
We walked into the park; it was raining.

Someone I know is hoping I can follow suit.
Was it a dream where I saw her?
Someone I know is hoping I can follow suit,
and I don't know how I know this,
but, in the end of the day, it's always sort of raining;
pieces and pieces, they fall from the sky.
In the end of the day, it's always sort of raining;
if you've seen it before, you know it doesn't lie.

We talked for awhile; it was somewhat past midnight.
I could hear people singing from afar.
And we stopped talking; I heard a footstep.
Of course I heard it; it was you, all along.
We went into a house, with a door, and a letter
from the city, telling me they didn't really care.
I folded it up, and let you inside to my house,
and you said "there's nothing really there."

We talked for awhile, until it was morning;
you said you were starting to like my house.
We could've gone on, but you left,
and I said "goodbye."
I don't think I ever saw you again.
I got up, it was late in the evening; I put on my shoes, and took a walk.
I was thinking about a dream I had; it must've been reality.

I like to keep my tracks in the snow.
I like to keep my tracks in the snow,
but they always shovel up snow;
and the gardens are green again.
