Before the Rain

A stormy summer Is rolling closer Lighting up this holy smoker And if this drinking Could ease the thinking I toast to my home truth with this glass All rise you promises broken Call my lovers by their names Lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind Which blows before the rain Little pin-pricks And how my ears bleed On the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat In every car crash In every life-flash I hear the silence waiting to fall All rise you promises broken Call my lovers by their names Lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind Which blows before the rain For all I carry These murdered secrets The price of my blue star-eyed weakness And so we travel And we unravel Towards the place where all loose ends go All rise you promises broken Call my lovers by their names Lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind Which blows before the rain
