lyrics

You’re in awful mood
I can tell from how you stand
As we wait in line for food at the shelter

The way you hold my hand
So firmly that it hurts
I tell you that I want to understand

And you summon up a demon
to give your hatred form
As if anything you say to me could hurt me

Some people start to stare at us
Your cheeks are streaked with salt
As the sky begins to cover up your anger

And the first drops are small
As they dance across your face
We make it safe inside before the worst begins to fall

But we sit there cold and hungry
Like we have a thousand times
And you lean across the table to place your lips on mine

The storm continues on
We have no choice but to leave
We face the world beneath a leaking awning

You turn to look at me
And your eyes are clear and bright
As we take our final steps into Missouri

And you press your chest right into mine
And slowly say my name
As if my feeble broken body could protect you from rain
But I pull you close
And I’m holding on
