As You Lean Into The Light Lyrics

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
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
