lyrics

Calling out for rain

It’s like I’m trying to keep a storm at bay,

Quiet now, I cannot take this rest,

For fear I might have something stupid left to say,

When to bite my tongue and walk now might be best.

There’s a part of me that’s calling out for rain,

Wash me clean now in this time of test,

If you’ve got something, come on have your say,

But I have not found the right words yet...

Well, I’ve got you and it breaks my heart, when I’m like this,

Well, I’ve got you and it breaks my heart, when I’m like this...

I cannot drink this water, and I cannot breathe this air,

That calls to me in earnest, that calls to me in jest,

Saying show me the one who told you that this would all be fair,

Singing like a mocking bird, now boy, how good is your best?

Well, I’ve got you, to take my heart, when I’m like this,

Well, I’ve got you to take my heart, when I’m like this.

This will pass, but now it’s hard to see,

For the clutter, clutter, clutter, clutter in my head.

Come on, get up, now there are now scars you’ve not broken anything,

There for the taking, why won’t I reach?

When I’ve got you, to take my arm, when I’m like this,

When I’ve got you, to take my arm, when I’m like this.
