Rain Through the Lamplight (version 2)

Verse

Rain on the pane like a prayer

Slows down time till there's nothing to spare

Grey light on your shoulder blade

Washing out every word that was said

The street outside has turned to glass

Every puddle holds what will pass

I let my voice go soft as steam

Falling through the amber dream

Pre-Chorus

Is it rain or tears I'm holding now?

Do they fall for letting go somehow?

Chorus

Rain through the lamplight, rain on your face

Washing clean every place we knew and left behind

Let the grey outside turn to gold

I'll carry you here where water flows

Verse 2

Your coat's still hung on a chair by the door

Smells like the ocean that I'm walking through no more

The paper that held your name is gone now

Floating out with every drop of rain I've known

Somewhere down this street we'll find another shore

Where the rain becomes a river, and the night's not so dark anymore

Pre-Chorus

Is it rain or tears I'm holding now?

Do they fall for letting go somehow?

Chorus

Rain through the lamplight, rain on your face

Washing clean every place we knew and left behind

Let the grey outside turn to gold

I'll carry you here where water flows

Bridge

Maybe this is how the heart learns to let go

One drop at a time instead of a single swallow

Every goodbye that I've ever known

Is just this — turning small, then turning home

Chorus

Rain through the lamplight, rain on your face

Washing clean every place we knew and left behind

Let the grey outside turn to gold

I'll carry you here where water flows
