Water In The Rain Songtext
Sometimes it passes
Sometimes it don't

Sometimes it passes

Sometimes

I'm in your arms in the front room
Your voice keep breathing
But my mind is not connected to my body
And I'm in pieces

I scapegoat the workload
The traumas from the past
How to keep the present in your grasp
When I'm holding it off behind glass?
I'm in the observation room staring at my palms
How are we supposed to dance?

But you're dancing
I can't land
Can't land in my own skin sometimes
But you're in the sunshine
You're in the garden

I'm walking slowly through some town with no name
In some place I don't know
With nothing to say
To the people I don't meet
I wait for the train
With a full bowl of water in my hands in the rain

Sometimes it passes
Sometimes it don't

Sometimes it passes
Sometimes it don't

I carry our love in my hands through each turbulent day
Like a full bowl of water in the rain
My tenderness for you
My hopes for our lives
One careful step at a time
Don't spill a drop
Don't drop the bowl
Don't lose hold
Don't lose control
Stay measured
Stay focused
Stay present
Stay close to the task
When the days are too slow or too fast
I just carry our love in my hands

Sometimes it passes
Sometimes it don't
