Michigan, 1975
The Gaslight Anthem
4:15I didn't keep a lot of souvenirs after the war And I put aside my strongest desires that ruled me before And I took all the pain that I could find 'Til I exploded in electric light Now I wander the open skies waiting on the storm And the harvest moon offers its light To the lovers still in love with the night I am a weatherman watching the skies Trying to read you Trying to read you We wanted everything and more and all the world under the knife And we burned into something so bright, it could escape from this town Though it seems foolishness now I'd do it all again and still somehow If in the end, I end with you, that's worth it all And the harvest moon offers its light To the lovers still in love with the night I am a weatherman watching the skies, trying to read you And she dreams of a life without rain But that's something more than my two hands can bring I am a weatherman stationed in vain, trying to please you And I don't believe you belong to me And I don't wanna love you go So I wait for the signs, I keep on watching the night And I try with all my might just to read you And the harvest moon offers its light To the lovers still in love with the night I am a weatherman watching the skies, trying to read you And she dreams of a life without rain But that's something more than my two hands can bring I am a weatherman stationed in vain, trying to please you Trying to please you
