1 John 4:16

John Darnielle

[Verse 1]
In the holding tank I built for myself, it's feeding time
And I start to feel afraid 'cause I'm the last one left in line
The endless string of summer storms that led me to today
Began one afternoon with you, long ago and far away

[Chorus]
And someone leads the beast in on his chain
But I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain
So I won't be afraid of anything ever again

[Verse 2]
In the cell that holds my body back, the door swings wide
And I feel like someone's lost child as the guards lead me outside
And if the clouds are gathering, it's just to point the way
To an afternoon I spent with you when it rained all day

[Chorus]
And someone leads the beast in on his chain
But I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain
So I won't be afraid of anything ever again
