Break in the Rain

“Break in the Rain” Explained

I've been waiting too long for a break in the rain

Making up some new truth watching these old clouds move

I'm thinking I might do the same

I'll will set up my chair here and rock me to the edge of this porch

Hoping I might fall down into the grass and muddy ground

And be someplace I've never seen before

Well I got these two feet, but damn them

A broken heart can't beat worth living

And I'm here in the rain and sleet and the wind

God give me a river and wash me away

I've been crying for days now and

Somehow the sun never ceases to shine

Lord is this some big trick tell me I can make it

And cross into your loving light

Well I got these two feet, but damn them

A broken heart can't beat worth living

And I'm here in the rain and sleet and the wind

God give me a river and wash me away

When the man from the town came

He took more than my dear Jenilee

He took my boy Isaiah, and when I see the rain come

I feel like he done taken all of me

I got these two feet, but damn them

A broken heart can't beat worth living

I cried and I witnessed lord as he took them

God give me a river and wash me away

God gave me a river and washed me away
