Rainmaker

from Halfsleeper by David Backshell

lyrics

I can smell the rain on the air tonight and I don't know where I'm going to hide
Because you treat me like a stranger after all this time and oh her kisses taste like light
I hear her footsteps echoing on the ground and I know that I am not alone

And no this rain it don't ever sleep
It's like a wheel turning me

And no I don't know if the end's going to set me free because it's like there's something broken, just rattling around in me

And through the leaves I tread looking for what's left of a place that I used to go
I have forgotten where I came from and I spin like dust in the wind
It's like all that was mine crept out into the night and left me empty handed
