It always comes too late

It always comes too soon

The rising of the sun

The crumbling of the moon

That life-defining weight

That sweet and simple tune

I would raise you

I would save you

If I could

I would raise you

I would save you

From the coming flood

In the light of the distant stars

I wipe the rain marks from the car

The only thing I know is true

I want to drive away with you

I would wake you

I would take you

If I could

I would raise you

I would save you

From the coming flood

And we wonder

Who’ll love us now?
