Songtext In silver rain with a paper key Thurston Moore

In silver rain with a paper key

There was a time when you could find him
Just by staring at the sky
A perfect stranger out of nowhere
Nothing to do, nothing to hide

And he disappears today
Where he goes he cannot say
The silver rain is all you see
You lost your lover

It used to be so easy baby
Just to find you in the clear
But the streets have ghosts that call you back
Before you get too near

The days that dare to never end
You'd whisper baby, please do it again
Now it's an echo without refrain
You lost your lover

I seem to recall sometimes last fall
Brown leaves crowned around your head
Now I'm back in town and I'm looking around
Will I ever see your eyes again?

Where did you disappear today?
I turn the corner and I see you fade
In silver rain with a paper key
You lost your lover
