Verse 1

When the sky darkens,

I think you here

When it pours,

I feel your arms around me

When birdsong stops,

I hear you sing, (steadfast )

about rainbows and the sun

between the clouds.

 

Chorus

And then the sky breaks,

Sun rays squeeze through the grey

The sky breaks

Sun rays squeeze through the grey

The sky breaks

Sun rays squeeze through the grey

 

Verse 2

Raindrops slow down

until they kiss me on the cheek.

Songbirds meet, to sing along,

vibrant,

about blue skies and summers,

yet to come.

Repeat chorus

 

Verse 3

While the sky dims once more,

clouds present the bleak moon,

The light of the bright stars reassure me

to move on

and write poetry

midst sleeping birds

and my memories of you.

 

Repeat Chorus
