Raindrops are falling on my shoulder

I've fought the battles of a soldier

One day you'll come back and find me

Now that I've put the past behind me

Then you'll see

That I'm not half the man I used to be



I can see her face as I hallucinate

Though she fades so fast as senses dissipate

I see armies marching through the color red

So much space between my shoulder and my head



It was another part of me

An extension of my feelings

And though it seems so mockingly

She holds the Ottawa Treaty

And when she comes to carry me

Will she notice that I'm lighter

Will she empathize my pain

Will she identify with me



Raindrops are falling on my shoulder

Every breath I grow much older

And I know my lover is an angel

Kiss me and save me from my final hell



Raindrops soak my shoulder

Seems so out of place

As the storm grows closer

Soon it hits my face



Raindrops are falling on my shoulder

Soon I'll face away
