rainy night house

it was a rainy night

we took a taxi to your mothers' home

she went to florida and left you

with you father's gun

alone

upon her small white bed

i fell into a dream

you sat up all the night and watched me

to see

who in the world i might be

i am from the sunday school

i sing soprano in the upstairs choir

you are a holy man

on the fm radio

i sat up all the night and watched thee

to see

who in the world you might be

you called me beautiful

you called your mother - she was very tanned

so you packed your tent and went

to live out in the arizona sand

you are a refugee

from a wealthy family

you gave up all the golden factories

to see

who in the world you might be
