The Rain Collector

And you throw me the bone I feel the pull of the lead now These are dog days I want to hide from the sun Want to hide from the heat wave And from you I want you to let me through Don't judge Don't blame Don't think you know Don't pull me up Don't try to understand I can rise but I'm walking my own way Away from this blue heaven rapture Only to stop and to stay Where the rains come down Who's to say if I'm sane Who's to say what is wrong in here And what isn't I wan't to stand in the rain I want to hold out my hands And then let them fill I'll drink to the storms in me And I won't heed your call Fair-weather voice Won't speak, won't hear, won't try to understand I can rise but I'll run in my own race Away from these grinding embraces Only wake, only stop, only stay Where the rains come down
