Lyrics
She waits behind the koi fish pond, the train’s delayed
She works on all the lines and lies that she has memorized
To say to him behind another pond that’s made of rain
And I can’t believe my ears and eyes
He’s feeling all the ride as he gets off the train
The book that he’d been reading there has crossed his eyes
And now his brain is tired of all the ups and downs of traveling
And there’s ringing in his ears and eyes
“Why don’t we take a walk?” she says, to his dismay
He takes apart her language, and his mind, it runs away again
But she says “We’d better hurry dear, it looks like rain”
And he’s taken for a ride again
They sit beside a dried-up hole, it starts to pour
They can’t escape the feeling they’ve been here before
They’ve been here before
They’re busy sinking deep into the task at hand
There’s nothing there to notice but another man
He takes a seat beside them as the story sets to start again
He’s taking in the roads again
They sit beside a dried-up hole, it starts to pour
They can’t escape the feeling they’ve been here before
Now everything’s a memory of clearer skies
The book that he’d been reading he has memorized
