Don't rush,
just feel the rain seep into your bones
City lights are glimmering
Won't you take me home?

Taxi cab flies faster than I ever thought it could
Flashing lights rush past our eyes
Your fingers trace the window
smiling faces
in condensation
brow furrowed in concentration
I'm a long-lost stranger you barely know
But won't you take me home?

Door closes quietly in the middle of the night
Stand with me here
inside
Get the wet out of your soul
Get the dark out from your eyes
Hang your trench-coat on the rack
Won't you stay a while?

Don't rush,
just feel my lips,
soft,
atop your own
Outside, lights are glimmering
I'm glad you brought me home.
