The Sun/The Rain Lyrics

My tongue took to lying

Though I'm trying to refrain

Sew my lips with the thread that you use

To keep buttons and stitches in place

My mind got to wandering

It's been idling for so long

I can't get back to the place where I heard

Bluebirds singing their wandering songs

Cold creeps up like the morning

Cracked my hands and lashed my skin

Snow laid down in the creek bed

So I'm coming down once again

Just to see

The sun and the rain

They collide like lovers

You and I finding home in each other

And I prayed for the sun to warm me

While you prayed for days of rain

But I'll come back down

To that old Limestone

Just to see you again, my dear

My dear

Left my heart down the highway

Where the bluegrass and laurels lay

There's just something the 606

Always had that I couldn't explain

I hear my mother crying

I was covered in sweat when I woke

My father remembers those days

Now he watches them twirl through the smoke

And he can see

What this meant to me

This was something I just can't give up
