Rainslicker

You had your red rain slicker on

Your face was turned up into rain as you watched me

And I was crossing, I was crossing

The street like my own Rubicon

I'm coming back home to you, coming back Rome

And your eyes were so patient and calm

And green as the grass that might grow on the 23rd Psalm

The last 40 days have been rain

The sun is a prodigal one that seems bent upon

Giving itself a bad name

And leaving us deep in the lurch as we walked down the lane

It’s a long time, oh, such a long time

And I hope for your sake, I’ve changed

And I hope for my sake, I managed to remain the same

Cause it's raining for you, raining for you now

Is it raining for me, raining for me now?

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

You tied your old bike to a tree

Came in from the weather though not yet together

I felt your hand light on my sleeve

As light as a bird that might offer a sinner reprieve

We don’t know too much, I know we don’t know too much

But love rains mysteriously

Behind every cloud is a purpose only now we can see

It was raining for us, raining for us now

Raining for us, raining for us now

Raining for us, raining for us now

Raining for us, raining for us
