Only One Way To Stop This Rain...

Only one way to stop this rain

Dream in the mirror, a face that you just might have been,
wipe condensation, a bleary outline of a dream,
In the forest, I saw you standing in green
started running for cover, the sky it is falling, strange birds begin calling

Seems there’s only one way to stop this rain,
walk on through, as it’s falling
Seems there’s only one way to stop this falling
breathe in deep, as you push on through the sky

In the stream, watch the small fish dart by,
surprised by your silence, the air so bright still light
A dream you had folded away,
now it gnaws at your bones, you are reaching out, reaching

Seems there’s only one way to stop this rain,
walk on through, as it’s falling
Seems there’s only one way to stop this falling
breathe in deep, as you push on through the sky

The river is wide, there’s no way over
I’ve never learned the ways to fly
the path behind me, keeps disappearing
come on baby, reach for the sky
