Tin Roof Sunday

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rain on the sill again Small glass in my hand I watch the maple bend In the yard, where you used to stand Your boots by the door Still leave their mark in my mind I fold up the day Like a shirt left out on the line [Pre-Chorus] And the water keeps falling Like it knows my name Every drip on the gutter Says the same old ache [Chorus] On a rainy day I lose my way I keep your name In the folds of the gray On a rainy day I can’t look away The sky keeps you close Then steals you away [Verse 2] The kettle screams once Then the room goes thin I trace your old note Where the paper has worn to skin There’s a mug by the sink With a crack on the side Like the little split places We never learned how to hide [Pre-Chorus] And the water keeps falling Through the leaning trees Every cold slow minute Pulls you back to me [Chorus] On a rainy day I lose my way I keep your name In the folds of the gray On a rainy day I can’t look away The sky keeps you close Then steals you away [Bridge] If you come back at all Let it be like this With the porch light dim And the world washed clean of it I’d open the door I’d let the damp come in And I’d say your name Like a prayer in the wind [Final Chorus] On a rainy day I lose my way I keep your name In the folds of the gray On a rainy day I can’t look away The sky keeps you close Then steals you away On a rainy day I still remain With the sound of you In the edge of the rain
