The Rain

The Swell Season · Strict Joy [2009]

Just before the rain came down the sun came out at last

And as for all assumptions made and questions never asked

I know we're not where I promised you we'd be by now

But maybe it's a question of who'd want it anyhow



Even now the rainbow's end seem closer to your hand

And isn't knowing when to stop the measure of the man

Okay

We're not what I promised you we would become

But maybe it's a question of how much you'd really want



Have you had enough

Had enough

There's plenty more where that came from now



Are you feeling bought

Swallowed up

We got hours on you now



Just before the rain came down the sun came out at last

Okay

I'm not what I promised you I would become

I know we're not what I promised you we'd be by now



Have you had enough

Had enough

There's plenty more where that came from now



Are you feeling bought

Swallowed up

We got hours on you now



Still on top

Crawling up

We got hours on you now
