In a violent storm, betrayed he comes ashore
The shimmering sea was not enough to hold him
He looks to find shelter among the old ghosts he knows
But bridges burned and money earned does nothing for sanity
Yet a familiar face he cannot place comes to surface oh so slowly
A recurrent fear of wasted years shows that age has been quicker than beauty
So down the burning street he walks faster
To drive away the blinding pain
To find the healing rain
To sear the memory of departure from his mind
It is raining inside his head and yet he goes on
Blinded he thinks back to the torturous sea
There is no shelter, cannot find his better
Like an old letter sharp memories invade
Yet a familiar face he cannot place comes to surface oh so slowly
Rushing in like black clouds as he stumbles back to the sea
So down the burning street he walks faster
To drive away the blinding pain
To find the healing rain
To sear the memory of departure from his mind
A great band! Neil Gaiman in a band? Love his lyrics. Ben Folds is a phenomenal musician. While I haven't heard some of the other musicians in the band, I really like there sound. Sky Gone Grey
