Raindrops are falling on my shoulder
I've fought the battles of a solider
One day you'll come back and find me
Now that I've put the past behind me

Then you'll see
That I'm not
Half the man I used to be

I can see her face as I hallucinate
Though she fades so fast as senses dissipate
I see armies marching through the color red
So much space between my shoulders and my head

It was another part of me
An extension of my feelings
And though it seems so mockingly
She holds the Ottawa treaty

And when she comes to carry me
Will she notice that I'm lighter
Will she empathize my pain
Will she identify with me

Raindrops are falling on my shoulder
Every breath I grow much older
And I know my lover is an angel, yeah
Kiss me and save me from my final hell

Raindrops soak my shoulder
Seems so out of place
As the storm grows closer
Soon it hits my face

Raindrops are falling on my shoulder
Raindrops are falling on my shoulder
Soon I'll fade away

Raindrops are falling on my shoulder
Raindrops are falling on my shoulder
Soon I'll fade away
