pane

the rain danced off the window pane
like disco on the floor
the moon was rising high into the sky
you and i were laying on the couch by the fire
but the wood was sending sparks
into the room

they said the storm would pass
in a day or two
but the sun won't return all week
they say its been too long
that we need the rain
but i'll spend the night in the den

the ghouls come out at night
but i always lock the doors
and leave a single rose on the driveway
the rain mixed with the night
makes evening perfect in our house
safe and dry in the perfect world
