Lyrics Dermot Kennedy

Dermot Kennedy

After Rain

You call arrows to fall short

Because the snow is at our feet

When embraces subside, and the lilies have died

It comes down to her tears on a sheet

But it's alright because

You cause lanterns to light

And force demons disperse

And if Lucifer may fear the swift drying of tears

Then, for evil, you could not be worse

But I see you now, I see you

Release me now, kinda like dreams do

I see you now, was hard to see you

Just don't forget to sing

Remember everything

You're the only little girl I know who'd bring a kite in the snow

Said, "you just gonna hold it up?"

You said, "Nah, I'm gonna let it go"

When your heart hurts

Days like today are the antidote

If you think just maybe it's her

Then promise me, young man, you're gonna let her know

You won't go lonely, yeah

You won't go lonely, yeah

You won't go lonely, yeah

You won't go lonely, yeah

You won't go lonely, yeah

It'll all be better in the morning

'Cause while you sleep I'll build a wall

But pick a weapon up or something

We're 'bout to have ourselves a brawl

In dead of night, one window open

He heard her singing down the hall

Singing 'bout him, least he was hoping

She left her listener enthralled
