AmPitter, pitter patter on the Cwall
Frain slants down, the rain Git falls
Amkeeping time to your story loCll
Fwhile you say nothing at aGll

Fyou sit with our cigCarette ash
Gunder tin roofs and it feEmels like home
Fwe’re just in a nicoCtine dream
Gof figurative means though the Emsmoke it choFkes
you hide in your metaCphors, 
your faGncy words, all those gEmross abstractions
speFak out ‘bout a herCo’s frailty

Fwhy is it that you hCave to be 
Gsome great, anEmcient mystery
FI’m resigned to wCatch the water,
