After the Rain – Marlow Zephyr

Verse

Umbrella by the doorway, still dripping on the floor

Your suitcase in the taxi, one hand upon the door

The neon sign above us turns the puddles into gold

Six years in a hallway, folded neat before the cold

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

Of something I still know

When the platform's calling slow

Chorus

After the rain, the sidewalk shines

Every gray cloud left some silver behind

We're walking away but we're walking in light

After the rain, everything's bright

Verse

The coffee shop still open, same booth by the glass

Your jacket on the hook there, a shadow of the past

The waitress hums a love song, doesn't know it's ours

We laugh about the weather like it's counting down the hours

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

Of something I still know

When the platform's calling slow

Chorus

After the rain, the sidewalk shines

Every gray cloud left some silver behind

We're walking away but we're walking in light

After the rain, everything's bright

Bridge

Maybe this is how it's meant to bend

Not a closing door but a river round the bend

I'll find you in the weather when the sky turns blue

Some goodbyes are just hello wearing a different shoe

Chorus

After the rain, the sidewalk shines

Every gray cloud left some silver behind

We're walking away but we're walking in light

After the rain, everything's bright

After the rain, I'm walking in light
