I can't understand how it happened Seems I've run into morning too soon I'm sure As the shimmering presence of daybreak Descends to the living room floor I step to the window and listen To sounds it seems I've never heard before A street like a midwestern carneval A girl on an alien shore When the sun shines at midnight Keep me running just the same But sing me still If it rains My eyes scan out around me As I hear them on the run Though a thousand lions surround me I count them all as one [Chorus] A black and lightless cavern A riddle from on high I feel the bright-eyed courier Can teach me how to cry These things, now second nature Remain a part of me With only rain to tell me of The places I can be [Chorus]
