The Rain And The Sky

the rain and the sky

i walk the long plank running
never learned it any other way
i see my shadow coming
but it don’t make little difference

i step outside, i am reminded
of the rain and the sky

i put one foot
in front of the other
one foot when the
other won’t stay

one foot in front
of the other, when the
other won’t stay, nothin’s
standin in the way

so when youre walking around
and you notice that its all a charade
and your feet kiss the ground with
each step like a Buddhist parade
and your heart is abounding with
thots of a previous day,

you might feel kinda sentimental
but its after the fact,

just step outside and be reminded
of the rain and the sky

i put one foot
in front of the other
one foot when the
other won’t stay

one foot in front
of the other, when the
other won’t stay, nothin’s
standin in the way

so when youre swimming around
in the dark with a light switch
one arm’s length away,
on a wintery day,
on a cold and
a cold and a
wintery day,

just step outside and be reminded
of the rain and the sky
