Chapter 5 - dry side of the window

Dry side of the Window

Psalm 42:7

"Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me."

Song of Solomon 5:6

"I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer."

Cup of coffee going cold

Half a message on my phone

Your sweater in my backseat

Still smells like you when I'm alone

Streetlight dripping on the glass

Little rivers tracing down

Every drop keeps writing us

Spelling out what I know now

I'm on the dry side of the window

Watching all our colors run

If I said I didn't miss you

I'd be lying to the one I love

I keep reaching through the raindrops

Like I could pull you from my memory

Come home, Give me one more storm beside you

I just want my husband back, I miss you

Same old movie on repeat

I know every aching line

All the words we ever said

Echo louder in my mind

Your key turns the front door

I can't bring myself to move

Finally an end to this distance

The sound of you coming home from work.

I'm on the dry side of the window

Watching all our colors run

If I said I didn't miss you

I'd be lying to the one I love

I keep reaching through the raindrops

Like I could pull you from my memory

Come home, Give me one more storm beside you

I just want my husband back, I miss you

Would you answer if I called (would you?)

Hear the thunder in my chest

Every heartbeat saying "almost home"

Every word a small confess

If you're walking in this weather

Thinking 'bout the way we crashed

Turn around, come to my doorway

We can learn from what we have (what we have)

I'm on the dry side of the window

Watching all our colors run

If I said I didn't miss you

I'd be lying to the one I love

I keep reaching through the raindrops

Like I could pull you from my memory

Come home, Give me one more storm beside you

I just want my husband back, I miss you

If you feel this falling with me

Baby, im glad you come back

Face pressed to the cool glass

Name fogged where I trace it last

Rain slows, but my heart stays fast

Waiting for your shadow to walk past. 

Safe return

Finally, you are home.
