Before the Rain Dried

Before the Rain Dried
Time runs in
Time runs out
All I have left
Is what I need to survive
To survive
The rain dried
Before it hit the ground
Sometimes I cry
But don't make a sound
Never meant to let you down
Before the rain dried

Look what I've done
With my pain
Imagine what I could've done
With joy
The rain dried
Before it hit the ground
Sometimes I cry
But don't make a sound
Never meant to let you down
Before the rain dried
Before the rain dried
The long slow midnight
Watching me pace the floor
Home is the bag that I keep
Packed by the door
The rain dried
Before it hit the ground
Sometimes I cry
But don't make a sound
Never meant to let you down
Before the rain
Before the rain
Before the rain dried
Before the rain dried
