Ready to Snap

Writing the lines as they come to me
Scratching them out almost immediately
Don't know what it's done to me
It's cold and it's wet it's been raining all night
And there's a letter I've been trying to write
Something better waiting somewhere for me
One of them is sitting on the wrong coast
One awaits an answer by return post
Waiting, waiting
Try to remember how long it's been
There was more to us than paper and pen
Think how easy it is to conceal
And I know when we're together again
We'll
I'll Take The Rain
The rain came down
the rain came down
the rain came down on me
The wind blew strong
and Summer's song
it fades to memory.
I knew you when
I loved you then
in Summer's yawn, now hopeless.
You laid me bare
and marked me there
the promises we made.
I used to think, as birds take wing,
they sing through life, so why can't we?
We cling to this, and claim the best
if this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain.
The nighttime creases
Summer schemes
and stretches out to stay
The sun shines down
you came around
you loved the easy days.
But now the sun
the Winter's come
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I'd hoped you'd fold
and open up inside, inside of me.
I used to think, as birds take wing,
they sing through life, so why can't we?
We cling to this, and claim the best
if this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain.
This Winter's song
I'll sing along
I've searched its still refrain.
I'll walk alone
if given this
take wing, and celebrate the rain.
I used to think, as birds take wing,
they sing through life, so why can't we?
We cling to this, and claim the best
if this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain, I'll take the rain.
