Child of the Rain

[Intro] (whispered) Rain on the roof, boots on the road... [Verse 1] The rain it seeps through the holes in my coat Map crumpled tight where the ink's run afloat I found a photo tucked in a tattered book Your smile a candle where the shadows look I trace the cracks in the windshield glass The world's a ghost town where the cold winds pass I count the miles by the streetlights' hum Each one a promise I might outrun [Chorus] Oh, child of the rain, we're not done yet A match in the dark, a breath not spent The road it bends but it don't break We'll find a embers for our cold, cold sake Oh, child of the rain, hold on tight A whisper of hope in the long, long night The sky's still black but the dawn's awake We'll find a embers for our cold, cold sake [Verse 2] The bass guitar hums like a distant train I think of your hands in the pouring rain You fixed my coat when the buttons broke Said "Don't you worry, we'll find a cloak" The piano weeps where the keys are worn I sing this song where the cold winds mourn The drum beats slow like a dying heart But I keep moving, I play my part [Bridge] I see your face in the foggy glass A memory that won't let me pass I touch the glass where your image lies A moment of warmth 'neath the stormy skies The strings they swell like a distant sigh I close my eyes and I let it rise The hope's a spark in the endless night A tiny flame in the endless fight [Chorus] Oh, child of the rain, we're not done yet A match in the dark, a breath not spent The road it bends but it don't break We'll find a embers for our cold, cold sake Oh, child of the rain, hold on tight A whisper of hope in the long, long night The sky's still black but the dawn's awake We'll find a embers for our cold, cold sake [Outro] (whispered) Rain on the roof, boots on the road... We're not done yet...
