lyrics

At the reservoir following,
A narrow path of light.
What keeps us coming back for more,
Is always out of sight.

And raindrops fall on broken glass,
on a tender patch of grass,
and from the ashes of the crash,
where all things rest, but nothing lasts.

Cold raindrops fall,
See the wonder of it all,
cold raindrops fall.

And you might walk away.

Don't you wish that someone wanted
You that way today?
A catastrophic blunder,
from which you might walk away?

Cold raindrops fall,
see the wonder of it all?
Cold raindrops fall.

Something from you I’ve taken,
I have taken.

Something from you I’ve taken.
And you might walk away,
You might walk away.

The tendency is to be let go,
before you come undone,
and someday soon they'll light up the woods,
and you'll see , you're not the only one.

Cold raindrops fall,
See the wonder of it all?
Cold raindrops fall.

And you might walk away,
And you might walk away,
And you might walk away,
And you might walk.
