RAINS OF APRIL

The trees on the edge of the park
Turn green around this time of year
They fly like flags in the breezes
That roll off the Atlantic Ocean

Everything I know
Has been washed out with the rains of April
I thought I was king of the world
I was just standing in the back of the photo

Oooh...

Subway faces tired
We’ve all got our headphones and our guards up
Scrolling through our phones
As we ride over the East River

You know I miss you now
And I'm never gonna see you later
And everything we had
Has been washed out with the rains of April

Oooh...

I thought our love was like
The bodega two doors down from the corner
Giving off light
Even in the darkest hours

But the neighborhood has changed
I barely recognize the photos
And the secrets we exchanged
Are lost under the East River waters

Oooh...

New York is a beautiful town
When you look at it from the back of a taxi
Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge
After midnight with your arms around me

But the greatest love is in memories
And you know those are unreliable
Faces rushing past
Just a blur now in the back of a photo

Oooh...
