Scar

Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop,
Tell the wind not to blow
Cause you said so;
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something we do,
Tell me everything i'm not
But don't tell me to stop

Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time,
Let it fall by the way,
Leave me where i lay;
Tell the leaves not to turn
But don't tell me i'll learn,
Take the black off a crow
But don't tell me to go

Tell the bed not to lay
Like the mouth of a grave,
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf on its knees;
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something we do,
Tell me everything i'm not
But don't tell me to stop

I've been having wicked thoughts
Terribly wicked, selfish and cruel,
Imagining i stood high on a ledge
And fell just out of the reach of you;
Just then, we are together alone
As i fall, you look up

Here's that rainy day
That you said was bound to come,
Funny

Holy cow, look what you've done
You've got me now so i can't speak;
I wonder how you turned out the stars
I hear your laugh
Like falling railway cars,
Far and away, peaking through the bars
Safe behind your own lock and key
--safe for now from me

God only knows how i love you
But god and his ghost
And his roadhouse crew
Ran me out of town on a silver rail
Free at last and begging him for jail

Just think what a day's rain can do
