4-21 Mr. Snow and I Go To Lunch

oh, Mr. Snow,

I say with the car door open,
in the rain pouring,
outside my open car door,

oh, Mr. Snow,
by now, you should know,
it's past the time,
I should go, Mr. Snow,
and this,

the rain pouring outside,
my open car door,
in the rain pouring,
you should know,
Mr. Snow,

this,
I say,
when it's time to go,
in the pouring rain,
outside,
in the pouring rain,
when I close my car door,

and

listen to the rain,
oh, Mr. Snow,
by now you should know,

listen to the rain,

go.

4-14 This Is How I Tell You I Love You (Reprise)

Mr. Snow,

the springs Rains,
I bring will come and go,
the boys and barbecues,
of summer, will watch the stars,
awake, on the steps of your patio,
but don't forget, babe,
when the maples leaves begin to glow,
I as the autumn rains will return,
to bring the smile with the snow.
this is how I love you,
this is how I know.

Mr. Snow,
this is how I love you,
this is how I know.

4-11 Sin Eater

grace my shoulder with
your fingers playing the piano
lightly behind me, ghost on the
feather of black thread,
unraveling, between your fingers,
pushing me down,
pinning me down,
while the rain plays the piano,
lightly on me, ghost in the
feathers of black and silver thread,
unraveling, between your fingers,
pushing in,
holding me,
pulling out,
holding me,
between the black and white keys,
stars come spilling out,
in the rain, unraveling,
from the thread where my
featherless wings,
ache between the black and white keys,
of my shoulder, stars
spilling into the rain,
unraveling, black, featherless,
thread, between your fingers,
you swallow me,
in the lightly falling rain,
of me unraveling, featherless,
between your fingers,
gracing my shoulder,
black and white,
feathers,
in the rain.

3-28 and I was done

and I was done.
the rain came down.
and I was done.
the house felt empty,
no table,
bags packed,
Tater pouting on the carpet,
but,
I was done.

the rain came down,
all around me,
all I could think about,
was the empty house
the rain coming down,
and me,
in this house,
with the rain coming down,
done.
