lyrics

He sleeps in the park
and the sky has no lid--
he sleeps in the park
because I can't live with him, O love

But I made it stop raining forever
I made us stop being lazy together

O love, I left you with no roof
and that's how I feel without you

Now that park is mostly straw
and my throat is too dry to sing
and the world is all kindling
when I can't be with him

I made it stop raining forever
the world shrinks to a raisin
when I can't be with him

I made it stop raining forever
now the world is all burning
and fire is our weather

Through this burning world we go
but if we never struggled alone
our souls would be couch potatoes

I made it stop raining forever
