       Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota in the morning,   in the rain.

       Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake.

       Each of us was humming to a half forgotten echo hanging over,   in the brain.

       Tappin’ time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take.

       Losin’ to the rising cost of living high and lovin’ hard and leavin’ ever yesterday behind.
