And I feel like someone's lost child as the guards lead me outside
And if the clouds are gathering, it's just to point the way
To an afternoon I spent with you when it rained all day
[Chorus]
And someone leads the beast in on his chain
But I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain
So I won't be afraid of anything ever again
