Lyric

I danced while crying in the strobe-light haze

Thought your nearness could mend my broken days

If you had stayed, I’d be past that hill

Morning clothesline—gentle, quiet, still

My heart lives in a body; I can’t deny it’s true

Come a little closer—let your body answer too

Show me your heart—let your body speak the truth

If mine lives in skin, let it break through

I called your name in the downtown swell

But you kept walking—so I’m still searching for

Where the rain fell, where the rain fell

Lead me home where the rain fell

Help me—every want awakes at once;

Sky on my skin, strangers on my tongue

I feared this pull, and still I chose it—

Fragile or reckless, I can’t stop chasing

Something romantic

My heart is a tenant breathing under ribs

Open your windows—let me step in

Show me your heart—let your body speak the truth

If mine lives in skin, let it break through

I cried on the street but you couldn’t tell;

You passed me by—so I keep searching for

Where the rain fell, where the rain fell

Lead me home where the rain fell

Good luck, good morning, good night, good life—

I whisper them softly, prayers in the quiet

Melodies carved from pain now carry me on;

A letter to the spring that’s gone, and one yet to dawn

Tell me—who holds your body now?

If a cracked umbrella could stop this rain

I’d rather stand and be soaked again

Your book, coffee-stained—just like us

Till I reach the place where the rain still lies

I won’t let go

Show me your heart—let your body speak the truth

If mine lives in skin, let it break through

I’m calling your name till the echoes tell—

And lead me back to where the rain once fell

Where the rain fell, where the rain fell

Lead me home where the rain fell

Dancing while crying, I won’t unravel—

Still I’m walking to where the rain fell
