As You Lean Into the Light

Gentle rain, here it comes again

Rattling 'round your window, threatening pain

Coming on like a friend but you know better than

Yesterday that held you by a different hand

Hail and stone and all that's gone

When everything that passes cuts to the bone

Turning like a wheel, dragging a heavy stone

A weight that ties you down that you will never own

Strange to see a paper smile on thee

When once you moved and light the room for us all to be

Now if I could be the sun I'd shine in your life

If I could be the rain I'd rain from your eyes

And I'd wash away the emptiness you feel inside
