Raindrops on the Glass

The sky is breathing again

The thunder has moved on to the hills

Silver trails trace the path of the storm

Tracing patterns on the glass so cold and clear

The kitchen light flickers, then finally stays

In the quiet, the secrets of the house appear

Dust settles on the old wooden frames

A soft mist clings to the garden gate outside

Everything is turning a different shade of blue

With nowhere left for the heavy ghosts to hide

The air smells of wet earth and mountain pine

Cooling the fever that burned behind our eyes

We’re watching the clouds begin to slowly part

Underneath the weight of these silver-lined skies

Let the rain wash away the grey

Every shadow that led our hearts astray

In the clarity of the falling blue

I’m finding my way back home to you

Wash away the grey today

Let the heavy clouds just drift away

I see your reflection in the darkened pane

Standing steady like a lighthouse in the hall

The world outside is a blurred watercolor painting

Where the droplets rise and the shadows fall

Fresh air flows through the cracked-open door

Clearing the smoke from the corners of our hearts

We don't need the words to explain this peace

This is where the healing truly starts

Let the rain wash away the grey

Every shadow that led our hearts astray

In the clarity of the falling blue

I’m finding my way back home to you

Wash away the grey today

Let the heavy clouds just drift away

Not every silence has to be a brick wall

Sometimes it’s a bridge across the deep and wide

Watching the droplets race down to the bottom

While the rest of the world is tucked inside

We’re still here, standing in the calm of the after

Let the rain wash away the grey

Every shadow that led our hearts astray

In the clarity of the falling blue

I’m finding my way back home to you

Wash away the grey today

Let the heavy clouds just drift away

Just the rhythm on the glass

Watching all the shadows pass

Wash away the grey

Wash it all away

Peace in the afterglow

Just you and the rain
