Emily's Rain - Peter Bradley Adams

In the shadows that she paints

Lie the stories she can’t tell

But the trees she lights on fire

And the colors cast a spell

All the waiting it’s been hard

She picks at the food on her plate

There’s so much that he could give

There’s so much that he could take

All her life she’s looked up to the clouds

For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground

One day soon she will be loved

It’s written deep within her fate

And every generation gone

Will gather round to celebrate

From mouth to mouth will come the words

Ear to ear and face to face

From the hands down in the hurt

And in her intensive grace

She will raise the windows high

Let the light come streaming in

And though the wind will burn her eyes

She will learn to breathe again

All her life she’s looked up to the clouds

For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground

For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground
