The last word has been spoken
thunder shakes the house
the night flashes furiously
and I get scared
"just like that night at the boathouse babe..."
so I remember...
What a night it was
you and I
hand in hand
facing forever
only looking ahead.
October had been
as warm as your heart
we were new
you drove,
and I sang along
with Pink Floyd
"we're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl..."
the air was heavy
when we got out of the car
you took my hand
reluctantly, I followed
"it's gonna rain Mat..."
you just smiled,
took me in your arms
and pointed at the sky
I gazed
the night had never
been darker
the stars
had all died
and far away
in the distant nearness
we could hear a growl
"the sky is hungry..." you said
I laughed
how I wanted
to make love to you
at that moment
but I had never...
you heard my heart
and you wraped yourself
around me
and I kissed
like I had never kissed
before
and I touched
like I had never felt
before
and then,
the clouds began weaping
while the sky raged
loud bangs
our bodies collided
between teardrops
and blinks of white.
The car radio
was still on...
between the rolls of thunder
Billie Holiday sang
"All of me...why not take all of me..."
Oh yes...
take all of me
we were soaked
by the smell of rain and sweat
in the darkness
all I could hear
was you...
breathing hard
as if you were taking breath
for the first time
I saw ever after
that night
and still today...
you make love to me
in thunder storms
"Just like that night at the boathouse babe..."
