I was leaving when you came
Just a girl en route, in the rain
And now I must send you away
And if I had to say
No one’s to blame

I had never seen a face
Pulled my white hot tears from their resting place
I had never heard my name
Like a holy word
Like a white hot flame
So send me the mountain
And the man who lives on it
Who whistle in the moonlight
A three note sonnet
Who sees and knows
The song is a river
Who dips in my hand just to show me the water

So send me the mountain
And that man who lives on it
Who whistle in the moonlight
A three note sonnet
Who sees and knows
His song is the river
Who dips in my hand just to show me the water

I was leaving when you came
Just a girl en route, in the rain
And now I have sent you away
And if I had to say
No one’s to blame
