In ages past
Or perhaps before
I sat like this of the fresh cut grass
The water running down my face and to the floors
As I sat outside in the howling tempest fury
I recall you claimed I'd get the chills
Pneumonia, the flu, endless doctor bills
And asked if I was looking to die early
I didn't answer
I could not hear
With raindrops whistling past the ears
You know, they sound just like the angels you once believed in
All I hear is the sound of breathin
Andsobs insteadbreath my lungs are heavin'
Yetin the rain my smile, it did not damper
Yes, long before our whole world changed
Before the cards
Before the fame
Yes, before back when I thought I knew you
You sat with me when we first fell from grace
And said in clouds was our mothers face
But I don't think you recall, that, do you?
Do you remember her at all?
How far from grace did you have to fall
Is this the truest price for fame?
A hollow man
Plays a hollow game
I don't think the loss is worth the gain
But then, that's why you're the boss
And I'm in the rain
Remembering the days when I thought I knew you
When we sat in the summer rain
Andyour smile stretched wide and unrestrained
But I don't think you recall, that, do you?
