Rain like, it's been too long
Like it's always been away
Rain like, like a new cloud
Bleeding night into grey
Bring all or nothing
Short of 40 nights and days
Or show me a mile away

And rain til you can't remember earth
Til my feet can't feel the dirt
And my eyes see a mile away
Til my feet can feel the sand
And i close my selfish hands
And pray that you wash it away
Wash it away

Brake once and i spin twice
Gripping my last grain of sand
Mixed with one tear, and with two drops
Of sweat on which i stand
Flashlights like a sunbeams
Take me off this soiled land
And show me a mile away
