"Sleeping Bag Rain"
Lyrics: Maureen S. O'Brien, 2/5/98
Music: ttto "Mandolin Rain", Bruce Hornsby & John Hornsby
Insp: "Detour", The X-Files.

So cold at night
But I hide from the light
In your eyes. So I fly 
  when I ought to hold on tight.
Bring cheese and wine,
I'll run ev'ry time.
You should know. When we're close, 
  we both know you're close to flight.

REF:
Take me where the sleeping bags rain.
Tell me just what it would take --
Tell me with your eyes, make...
  sense of all the mysteries.
Take me where the sleeping bags rain.
Detour 
Around our pain.
Take me where my heart beats.
Hold me close or we both will freeze.

Flames aren't our friend,
But always we bend
Looking in, till the end --
  innocents will pay for sin.
This strange romance --
And each time we dance
'Round the truth, there's a chance 
  That we'll lose it all again.
REF:

BRIDGE:
I'm layin' down on the wood's floor.
Huddle close, let me dream of more.
Sleeping bags rain from a sylvan sky --
We'd investigate and wonder why.
Wonder why?

Cool waters flow.
If we drank, then we'd know
What they knew, how they grew 
  like two trees within the woods.
(But) we live in time,
We pile and we climb.
Old design, still sublime.
  Someday we'll get free for good.
