Raining in Kyoto

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Raining in Kyoto It's flooding the streets I'm nursing a coffee from a vending machine I saw the god of rice, a fox with a key I woke up blind with a headache Grinding my teeth Confused and alone and taking pills to sleep They soften your absence but they don't let me dream [Verse 2] Raining in Kyoto My breath turns into steam I buy you a candle, not even sure what it means I cursed at the matches And drown in my grief, grief An old man stood close by, smiled at me I rung the bell like he did I told you I'm sorry A makeshift funeral, I tried setting you free [Chorus 1] You're half asleep And I bought you a radio to drown out the machines Hospital light, you asked about the weather, wish that they'd let you outside [Verse 3] Raining in Kyoto I'm starting to shake They'll hold your service tomorrow I'm an ocean away Reach into my pocket, found a small paper crane It's been over a year now April turns into May I've barely stopped moving, I've been so fucking afraid Too much of a coward to even visit your grave [Chorus 2] You're half awake And I bought you a radio to play the blues away With my hand to hold, you asked about the weather, wish they'd let you die at home [Chorus 3] You're half awake And I bought you a radio to play the blues away Hospital light, you asked about the weather, wish that they'd let you outside [Outro] Goodnight Goodnight Goodbye
