The Late September Dogs Lyrics

Just outside my window I hear the late September dogs

 And I understand their warning, I understand their song

 Since you left I feel the change in the air

 And night after night I'm searching for mercy everywhere

 So I wake in the street and I call out your name

 I shout to the sky, please

 

 (CHORUS)

 Come on let it rain, let it rain down on me

 Let the rain touch my hands, let the rain set me free

 Let it rain down on me

 

 Silence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the bone

 In dreams the hand that touches you is mine and mine alone

 Cruel is the light is the morning shining down on me

 Hours with the Devil to understand just what you need

 So I wake in the street and I call out your name

 Shout to the sky come on

 

 Come on let it rain, let it rain down on me

 Let the rain fill my eyes, let the rain set me free

 Let it rain down on me

 

 Just inside the distance I hear the late September dogs

 And so I beg for sleep the child who walked before she crawled

 Damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain

 The spear in your side is me

 

 (CHORUS)
