Break the Rain

In the evening hours, as the sun goes down
A calm wind moves through this town
And in the distance, a southbound train
I wonder if I'll see you again

And there's a place some men are compelled to go
It's far away, somewhere far from home
As I get a little further 'round the bend
I wonder if I'll see you again

And may you rest before the shadows
And brighten up the day
Don't you know, it's gonna go fast
'Til everything is in the past
And we'll be far away

And we don't stand so tall
The blood and sweat and alcohol
Tell me, is this how it ends
Through love and loss and innocence
Poets, praise, and hypocrites
I think of you back then
And I wonder if I'll see you again

A shallow light will break the rain
And through the cracks in a windowpane
I do my best to get out of its way
And I hope that it may find you someday

And nothing is ever as it seems
And no one knows what any of it means
The best I can do is count to ten
And hope one day I'll see you again
