pregnant pause

i offer you some wine

you say it's not a mood

the cars on shattuck ave. are quiet this afternoon

waiting out rain with you

a pregnant pause that i do

it's days like these that pass

the sun isn't forgotten

pleasures of tilt and glass

ex-lovers gangrene and rotten

waiting out rain with you

a pregnant pause that i do

and the hope that lives within you

will cause the rain to bend

and we will walk between them

and all of this will come to an end

look at this dirty pipe

your mother will surely know

your father too. i guess

my secret love

please go

waiting out rain with you

a pregnant pause that i do
