I was a fool to return here
To the place I never knew
Like a one-way avenue
That always stays the same
Guess it doesn’t really matter
It’s like a moon to the sea
It always has its place
And it has a pull on me
The doors are always open
But it’s hard to get inside
Sneaking in through windows
Shrouded in the night
You can almost feel it
All that came before
Stolen, shaped and tumbled
And washed upon the shore
Takes me by surprise
Closer than I’d like
Cover rolling over
The rain and the thunder
Drenched to the bone
All is washed away
Sometimes we all need the rain
I can hear the voices
Of everyone around
Hiding behind lines
Worn into the ground
Who can really blame them
With everything we’ve seen
Sometimes when you’re drifting
It’s hard to find a reason
I was a fool to miss it
And a fool to turn away
A fool to dismiss it
When everything had changed
But after all these years
The storm has blown away
The damage becomes beauty
In the history that is made
Takes me by surprise
Closer than I’d like
Cover rolling over
The rain and the thunder
Drenched to the bone
All is washed away
Sometimes we all need the rain
