Howard, when I first saw you
I knew that you had a injury in your heart
And under wild blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We'll never be apart

And when the water came
The smell of oceans and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed

And in the golden yellow
Crying took me to
The happiest place you knew
And set water to my heart

When I run in the light, Howard
To a place that's cool, Howard
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Howard
I dream of home

But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your body
Into our mouths the tears crept
Just teens in the eye of the storm

And as my friends spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again
For home again

When I run in the dark, Howard
Into a place that's vast, Howard
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Howard
I dream of home

When I run in the dark, Howard
Into a place that's vast, Howard
Under a sheet of rain in my heart, Howard
I dream of home
