CATCH THE RAIN
A few years back we were having a ton of rain in our neighborhood. Almost every basement in our community flooded. Flooding is such a gross thing to deal with. Mold carpets, bleaching, cleaning. I had close friends going through a rough divorce and flooding at the time. This song is for them.

lyrics

Three am,
Another sleepless night,
Wind blows, leaves are falling,
Not putting up a fight.

Days grow short,
The chill sets in,
They say that love's a temporary madness,
And leaves your tail to spin.

But can you catch the rain?

So entwined,
Like a vine that seemed to have no ending,
You were mine,
But our garden needed desperate tending.

It's a phase in everyone's life,
When a little bit of sunshine peeks out of the clouds,
And finds the bright, shiny lining we've all longed to dream about.

But can you catch the rain?

If you fall out of love from desperation,
If you fall out of love but worked so hard,
It turns into a business situation,
Too much water needs a lifeguard.

Three am,
Bullets of water from the sky,
Drown out salty tears, streaming from my eyes.

Floods have left distraction,
Pain and disarray,
But it's cleansing power has a tendency to wash the pain away.

So you can catch the rain.
