rainslicker
You had your red rain slicker on Your face was turned up into rain as you watched me And I was crossing I was crossing The street like my own Rubicon Coming back home to ya coming back Rome And your eyes were so patient and calm And green as the grass that might grow on the 23rd Psalm  The last forty days have been rain The sun is a prodigal one that seems bent upon  Giving itself a bad name And leaving us deep in the lurch as we walked down the lane  It's a long time oh such a long time And I hope for your sake I've changed And I hope for my sake you managed to remain the same  Is it raining for you raining for you now Like it's raining for me raining for me now You tied your old bike to a tree Came in from the weather though not yet together  I felt your hand light on my sleeve As light as a bird that might offer a sinner reprieve We don't know too much I know we don't know too much But love rains mysteriously And behind every cloud is a purpose only now we can see  That it's raining for us raining for us now Raining for us raining for us now [Repeat: x3]
