lyrics

Squinting hard to read the number
That's staring back from the unlit empire
Where are you tonight?
Too numb to tap to you warm comfort
Battery's dead, sodden glove round my thumb
But where are you tonight?

Take shelter where you can
The hollow rocks from the blustering wind
That would cut the sky in two
And drag the covers off all that we cling to
What if all this rain never stopped
And filled up all the sea
To float your heart above every wall
That keeps your love
Keeps your love from me

Summer waves in the same dark water
We threw our clothes at the shore, oh god but
Where are you tonight?
We joked about how the blue grey clouds
Plotted maps to a future that we never found
But where are you tonight?

Take shelter where you can
The hollow rocks from the blustering wind
That would cut the sky in two
And drag the covers from all that we cling to
What if all this rain never stopped
And filled up all the sea
To float your heart above every wall
That keeps your love
Keeps your love from me

Our song now played on a baby grand
Behind the glass overlooking the sand
But where are you tonight?
We who have nothing, we look to the sky
And we look to the sea
And find nothing there
But here are you tonight?
What if all this rain…
