Lyrics

April

[Verse 1]

April, how could

I not have seen

April, you coming

April, how could I've

Worn inappropriate clothing?

April, all that careful stepping

Rounding of my soul

And now your rain

[Chorus]

April, I feel you leaving

I don't know what silence means

It could mean anything

[Verse 2]

April, won't you answer me?

These days just seem to crush me

Hatching, collapsing, tumbling down

April, what if I drown? I drown?

[Chorus]

April, I see you leaving

I don't know what silence means

It could mean anything

Won't you answer me?

[Bridge]

I dreamed, I dreamed

April, April

That I'm walking

That I'm watching

April

[Outro]

Your rain overcomes me
