The rain’s been holding out on us
I’m about ready to die
It’s stifling out here
and the rain is my lifeline
Send a summer shower
Toss your love at us
Freckle the sidewalk
Run down my arms
A gust of wind
makes the elm tree sway
A rumble of thunder
is comforting
The smell of freshness
A lightning concerto
You’re cracking open
We come out to meet you
Everybody stands
at this makeshift altar
Everybody’s breathing
the holy water
