When The Rain Comes

from Back to the Old House by Sawmill

/

lyrics

Oh heavenly host,
I was foolish,
As a young man,
I’m not strong enough,
To be shouting,
Into the wind,
For a whole lifetime,
I am growing,
Weak and weary,
Waiting patiently,
For the thunder,
When the rain comes,
If it’s only luck,
I’ve already,
Reached my limit,
As the street light fades,
In the distance,
And the heater,
Fogs up the window,
Something else will,
Get me thinking.

Slow, momentary thoughts,
Unable to shake off,
Caught, somewhere in-between,
Life and a waking dream,
Stuck talking to myself,
Sat, staring out to sea,
Oh, could you carry me,
Ghost only I can see.
