I’ve brought the thief to the house of the just
I’ve taught the morning to a pale artifice
My son’s a pestilence that’s burning at noon
Vapour in the death of the night moon
The night moon
The night moon
The night moon
The night moon
To speak the laws of prudence
To keep the wolves at bay
To hear the dog howl at the wintry door
Oh take me back to days of holy vellichor
I’ve brought the thief to the house of the just
I’ve taught the morning to a pale artifice
My son’s a pestilence that’s burning at noon
Vapour in the death of the night moon
The night moon
The night moon
The night moon
The night moon
Oh mental flames redeemed
Valla’s in the shadows of the leaves upon the tree
Oh mental flames redeemed
Valla’s in the shadows of the leaves upon the tree
I’ve brought the thief to the house of the just
I’ve taught the morning to a pale artifice
My son’s a pestilence that’s burning at noon
Vapour in the death of the night moon
I’ve brought the thief to the house of the just
I’ve taught the morning to a pale artifice
My son’s a pestilence that’s burning at noon
Vapour in the death of the night moon

I've got a secret
I think that I'll keep it
All to myself
I'll tell no one else
I've been living in fiction
My own self-infliction
Keeps weighing me down
I fear I might drown
In the
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
I need to get high
I can't sleep at night
Confined in my head
Watch the world go on by
Through the
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
The rain will leave you
Diseased, dead, denied
If I could only warn you
But I'm pent up inside
From the
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain

Gentle one
How will we keep from sinking
I know you've been thinking
Our love is on the line
I dreamt last night
That all the world was fleeting
Our bodies receding
Just shaking in the blight
Oh love could never live
In a place like this you said
All that I can give
Is just not enough for you
Gentle one
I know I'm half the man that I should be
I look into the mirror
I don't know who looks back at me
Gentle one
We've got to make it bright tonight
To free the chains from every mind
To keep the dream alive
I want you
I need you to mesmerize
To drown me in bedroom eyes
Until the morning comes
Oh love could never live
In a place like this you said
All that I can give
Is just not enough for you
Gentle one
I know I'm half the man that I should be
I look into the mirror
I don't know who looks back at me
I think I'm sick
And you're just trying to help
Am I perpetually thick
Am I just living in hell
Oh love could never live
In a place like this you said
All that I can give
Is just not enough for you
Gentle one
I know I'm half the man that I should be
I look into the mirror
I don't know who looks back at me
Gentle one
I know I'm half the man that I should be
I look into the mirror
I don't know who looks back at me
