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
