Rain Keeps Us Company (Version 2)

Verse

Rain on the windowpane at nine o'clock

Your umbrella caught in the door like a spark

Coffee steam where our hands touch

Every drop says we're not scared

Two steps to your front porch light

Static humming through my shoes

No rush, just the hush of rain tonight

Falling soft over you

Pre-Chorus

So what's this quiet doing inside me

Is it hope or is it just the weather

Either way I'm standing here with you

Nothing else I'd rather do

Chorus

Rain keeps us company on nights like these

Drumming slow against the pane

Say something soft that only rain can hear

I'll stay right where I am, no need to move

Just your breath and mine between the drops of gray

We don't dance but our feet keep time

This is how a storm becomes a gentle hush

And I'm still holding on

Verse

Six o'clock and the sky turns silver blue

Your jacket sleeve brushing against my own

Water running down like we're singing too

Saying something neither one of us has known

The world outside is all rain and glass

But in this room it's warm, it's still and slow

I don't know what tomorrow's going to be at last

Right now just you and me and the sound that won't let go

Pre-Chorus

So what's this quiet doing inside me

Is it hope or is it just the weather

Either way I'm standing here with you

Nothing else I'd rather do

Chorus

Rain keeps us company on nights like these

Drumming slow against the pane

Say something soft that only rain can hear

I'll stay right where I am, no need to move

Just your breath and mine between the drops of gray

We don't dance but our feet keep time

This is how a storm becomes a gentle hush

And I'm still holding on

Bridge

Maybe it's not falling that we're afraid of

Maybe it's just saying it out loud

So here goes nothing, let it all stay

Tonight we let the rain sing out its truth

Chorus

Rain keeps us company on nights like these

Drumming slow against the pane

Say something soft that only rain can hear

I'll stay right where I am, no need to move

Just your breath and mine between the drops of gray

We don't dance but our feet keep time

This is how a storm becomes a gentle hush

And I'm still holding on
