Just Like That
It's like the rain on the window
Like the wax of the candle
Just like the fading photograph
Beneath those blue fingernails
It's like the tears of a child
Like the crumbs of that cookie
Just like those puppy-dog eyes
Fall to the floor, out of my life
It's like the snow on the ground
Like the petals of a rose
Just like sitting in muddy water
Can't get farther, can't get worse
It's like the glass of a window
Like the falling of the rain
Just like that shattered mirror
Clear and harsh, my life goes
It's like the rain on the window
Like the wax of the candle
Just like the fading photograph
Beneath those blue fingernails
It's like the tears of a child
Like the crumbs of that cookie
Just like those puppy-dog eyes
Fall to the floor, out of my life
It's like the snow on the ground
Like the petals of a rose
Just like sitting in muddy water
Can't get farther, can't get worse
It's like the glass of a window
Like the falling of the rain
Just like that shattered mirror
Clear and harsh, my life goes
