An Outstretched Hand / Rain From Here to Kerry

Let's go homeward and settle down

Before it falls

Sleight of hand reaching out

And now you know

Buried deep in the lines

Now you'd hope

Left for something, bleeding out

Let's just sit here losing time

Before you go

An outstretched hand on a frostbitten night

This time moves slow

Buried deep in the lines

Now you'd hope

Left for something, bleeding out

I sit by your side

Rain from here to Kerry

Soaking feet

Soaking wet

Dissolved again

Buried beneath a shade of night that only August brings

As sun begins to peak amongst the birds

We speak amongst hushed tones

I sit by your side

You say, "Don't sleep", as your second Red Bull depletes

And I realise we've driven five hours flat

How long until we see the bridges?

Rain from here to Kerry

The cat's eyes still lit, broken antenna supplies the silence

Our feet and heads still wet from the walk

Soaking feet

The air conditioning powering through such a long night shift

It's like ourselves are the only two awake

Soaking wet

There's been rain since Carrauntoohil

But as we reach the Fermanagh sign

The sky exposes pink and orange
