In Silver Rain With A Paper Key - Thurston Moore

There was a time when you could find him

Just by staring at the sky

A perfect stranger out of nowhere

Nothing to do, nothing to hide

And he disappears today

Where he goes he cannot say

The silver rain is all you see

You lost your lover

It used to be so easy baby

Just to find you in the clear

But the streets have ghosts that call you back

Before you get too near

The days that dare to never end

You’d whisper baby, please do it again

Now it’s an echo without refrain

You lost your lover

I seem to recall sometimes last fall

Brown leaves crowned around your head

Now I’m back in town and I’m looking around

Will I ever see your eyes again?

Where did you disappear today?

I turn the corner and I see you fade

In silver rain with a paper key

You lost your lover
