The Late September Dogs

Just outside my window I hear the late September dogsAnd I understand their warning, I understand their songSince you left I feel the change in the airAnd night after night I'm searching for mercy everywhereSo I wake in the street and I call out your nameI shout to the sky, please(CHORUS)Come on let it rain, let it rain down on meLet the rain touch my hands, let the rain set me freeLet it rain down on meSilence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the boneIn dreams the hand that touches you is mine and mine aloneCruel is the light is the morning shining down on meHours with the Devil to understand just what you needSo I wake in the street and I call out your nameShout to the sky come onCome on let it rain, let it rain down on meLet the rain fill my eyes, let the rain set me freeLet it rain down on meJust inside the distance I hear the late September dogsAnd so I beg for sleep the child who walked before she crawledDamn my soul that remembers and clutches to this painThe spear in your side is me(CHORUS)
