Ian Freud
After the Rain has Gone
You were seeking shelter as the skies grew dark
So come in here beside me, unclothe the darkness in your heart
The rain is searching windows, looking for our souls
Tell me that I matter to you – no else need know

But will you still be here with me when the rain has gone?

Cling to me, sleep deeply, tangled in my legs
Your hair like wild strawberries, unfurled across my chest
The storm outside will pass soon, uncovering the moon
And she in turn will vanish in the white heat of the noon

But will you still be here with me when the morning comes?
And will you still be here with me after the rain has gone?
