The Gaslight Anthem - The Weatherman lyrics

I didn't keep a lotta souvenirs after the war
And I put aside my strongest desires that ruled me before
And I took all the pain that I could find
Till I exploded in electric light
Now I wander the open skies, waiting on the storm

And the Harvest Moon offers its light
To the lovers still in love with the night
I am a weatherman watching the skies
Trying to read you
Trying to read you

We wanted everything and more and all the world under the night
And we burned into something so bright, we could escape from this town
Though it seems like foolishness now
I'd do it all again, and still, somehow
If in the end I end with you, then that's worth it all

And the Harvest Moon offers its light
To the lovers still in love with the night
I am a weatherman watching the skies
Trying to read you
And she dreams of a life without rain
But that's something more than my two hands can bring
I am a weatherman stationed in vain
Trying to please you

And I don't believe you belong to me
And I don't wanna know if you go
So I wait for the signs, I keep a watch in the night
And I try to with all my might just to read you

And the Harvest Moon offers its light
To the lovers still in love with the night
I am a weatherman watching the skies
Trying to read you
And she dreams of a life without rain
But that's something more than my two hands can bring
I am a weatherman stationed in vain
Trying to please you
Trying to please you
Trying to please you
