After the Rain

[Intro: soft piano, distant rain] [Verse 1: Intimate] Streetlights bloom along the avenue My shadow falls in step a mile with you Every window glows with a tiny flame Every pulse of mine has learned your name [Pre-Chorus: Warm] I was stuck inside the waiting storm You broke through the grey to light my morn [Chorus - Expansive] [Hook - Anthemic] When rain is gone, when rain is gone We pick our colours up again When rain is gone, after the pain We learn to dance out in the open When rain is gone, when rain is gone We breathe our freedom unchained [Verse 2: Intimate] Wet sidewalks catch the last of twilight Cool wind carries your familiar sigh Puddles mirror the silver moon I can feel my future coming soon [Pre-Chorus: Warm] I had wandered through the longest night You brought the dawn back to my sight [Chorus - Expansive, Emotional] [Hook - Anthemic] When rain is gone, when rain is gone We pick our colours up again When rain is gone, after the pain We learn to dance out in the open When rain is gone, when rain is gone We breathe our freedom unchained [Bridge: Vulnerable] If the sky should fall quiet tonight Hold my hand, we'll keep the low light If the clouds should hide all the starlight I'll stay with you, till the dark turns right [Outro: Fading, soft piano] When rain is gone We begin again When rain is gone Yeah, we begin again
