  • the sounds of rain

    17 Jun 2003

    the wind came through my window cold
    like the way your voice was on the phone
    holding onto tones of happiness
    and the other things you'd known
    still every summer you rolled in
    like the kiss of a june thunderstorm
    waiting patiently for the heat to hit
    from the lines that the sky had torn

    and no one else will come and stand with me
    beneath this kindly violent sky
    but all these people like to claim
    that they already know well enough the sounds of rain

    and summer love seeped in with the fog
    of sun and midday naps in the shade
    just a glimpse of your smile was enough
    and i forgot why i even came
    through the window of the old buick
    i heard that song we used to sing
    "get back to where you once belonged" he sang
    among many other tired things

    and no one else will come and stand with me
    beneath this kindly violent sky
    but all these people like to claim
    that they already know well enough the sounds of rain

    hey, i need to thank you
    for all those afternoons under the rainclouds
    cause everyone here thinks i'm crazy
    for never seeking drier grounds

    and no one else will come and stand with me
    beneath this kindly violent sky
    but all these people like to claim
    that they already know well enough the sounds of rain
