It always comes too late
It always comes too soon

The rising of the sun
The crumbling of the moon

That life-defining weight
That sweet and simple tune

I would raise you
I would save you
If I could

I would raise you
I would save you
From the coming flood

In the light of the distant stars
I wipe the rain marks from the car

The only thing I know is true
I want to drive away with you

I would wake you
I would take you
If I could
I would raise you
I would save you
From the coming flood

And we wonder
Who’ll love us now?
