From the recording Headspace
Lyrics
Against the Rain
You’re off in the distance
And you keep getting smaller and farther away
All my memories reappear where all the colors are faded to grey
Feelings are fleeting, flying on gossamer wings
Oh, what frail and fragile things
But I remember fire and fury
And the world turned on its head
Yes, there was mayhem, there was madness
As we took this town and painted it red
But when the clouds got thick and heavy
We were so unprepared for the pain
So we boarded up our windows against the rain
Boarded up, boarded up, boarded up against the rain
Boarded up, boarded up, till it comes around again
Twisting and turning
Were we really surprised when it fell apart?
Oh, the surges of a storm, well, not the best place to keep a heart
But memories are momentary, and we put them to bed
We overlook the things we said, and the tears we shed
And we are, both of us, forgetting
That we’re all just victims here
And we will correct our connections
As the details conveniently disappear
But when we take the time to look back
At the water that filled us with pain
We’ll have boarded up our windows against the rain
Boarded up, boarded up, boarded up against the rain
Boarded up, boarded up, till it comes around again
You’re off in the distance
And you keep getting smaller and farther away
Let’s just let it fade to grey
Boarded up, boarded up, boarded up against the rain
Boarded up, boarded up, till it comes around again
Boarded up, boarded up, boarded up against the rain
Boarded up, boarded up, till it comes around again
