it was the rain and us
under a cruel maryland sky
it was your camera flashing
at a sea of umbrellas in the night
it was leonard cohen on stage
thanking us for staying in the cold
it was the puddle that formed
around your feet
which kept me dry
it was the chilly air that kept us
shivering in each others arms
it was the two joints you found
in the bathroom we later enjoyed
it was the song hallelujah that made
me turn to come back to you
it was that song that played
when we came together in bed
it was the poisonous thorn we were
pricked with from the very beginning
it was the poison that dispersed
throughout the veins of our experiment
it was sleep that came to us in the end
no dance of life to revive our mark
it was the chilly air that kept us
shivering in each others arms
it was the puddle that formed
around your feet which kept me dry
it was the rain and us
under a cruel maryland sky
