Quiet Rain

from Beyond Blue by High Turnover

lyrics

Morning lays steaming
Gleaming sun’s irritating
A pale preacher preaches
A message that hardly reaches
Your mother’s mind ablaze
Over what he didn’t say
He didn’t even offer to pay
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love

At home your eyes crack
Knowing he won’t be back
Both, you with no wealth
A sweating glass, you medicate yourself
You yell, “why’m like him”
“I can’t share the same grin”
“with a man who leaves on a whim”
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love

His exit pushes you to repent
God answers raising the rent
You’d ask the church to help
But you’re tired of the Bible belt
Breathing of conformity
You long for new territory
The next chapter in your story
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love

In another insomniac haze
You remember when the world wasn’t grey
In your academic bubble
With definitions available
Alone you must take the loan
A role model he was never known
Mother must go her own
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love

Debt with a fractured family
You heed the incessant urging
To cast aside routine
To rattle your own tambourine
And with executive decision
You vow not to be that person
Life will be how you envision
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love
