Atlas Rain

Verse 1

Clay jug cooling in the terrace shade

Promises we kept and the ones that fade

Copper bracelet clicking on your wrist

Valley waking in the amber mist

Pre-Chorus

Grey clouds roll across the heavy stone

Neither one of us will walk alone

Chorus

Let it wash the red dust from our hands

Cool water running down the thirsty sands

Say goodbye smiling through the Atlas rain

Everything we loved will come alive again

Verse 2

Dried figs wrapped up in a linen cloth

Flock of swallows flying to the north

Footsteps quiet on the courtyard tile

Turning all the sorrow to a sudden smile

Pre-Chorus

Grey clouds roll across the heavy stone

Neither one of us will walk alone

Chorus

Let it wash the red dust from our hands

Cool water running down the thirsty sands

Say goodbye smiling through the Atlas rain

Everything we loved will come alive again

Bridge

The road climbs steep where the cedar grows

Where the river starts nobody knows

Turn your collar up against the pouring sky

There is too much life to ever say goodbye

Chorus

Let it wash the red dust from our hands

Cool water running down the thirsty sands

Say goodbye smiling through the Atlas rain

Everything we loved will come alive again
