He’s a gentle killer

Who dreams of fame

Sings like sorrow

And guides me away

He tempts me with whiskey

And draws himself near

And late in the night

It’s the one thing i hear

At sunset we swallow

Another one down

Watching the little dogs

Chasing around

Catching the droplets

Of rain in their mouths

That fall from the leaves

Between us and the clouds

We know we were born

For this darkening night

And something we used to know

Says it’s alright

Catching the droplets

Of rain in our mouths

That fall from the leaves

Between us and the clouds
