The Gaslight Anthem - The Weatherman Lyrics

I didn't keep a lot of 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
'Til 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 knife
And we burned into something so bright, it could escape from this town
Though it seems foolishness now
I'd do it all again and still somehow
If in the end, I end with you, 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 love you go
So I wait for the signs, I keep on watching the night
And I try 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
