Lyrics
Rain In Cups
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Submerged in a puddle
With some leaves and some twigs
(But tips of the hemlock
Are flipped to high green)
And the water is drifting
Down the slopes of flat hills
Reminding its meadow
(Take a break for a kin
It's nice at the portway)
Just to sweat all the same
(How come that we divided
Up myself again)
I want cups of rain
To pour all on the garden
(Once I left today)
(All the dry evening)
Can we watch the rain
(And sit on hands)
Let's get lost in the rain
Let's get lost in the rain
She hired a doula
Gave birth in the rain
Called her kid droplet
She felt life eternal
(Unto their dowels)
Where she felt the true love
Over the poplar
With the rain coming down
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
Ooh
Dirt all under some rubber
With beetles flipped on its back
(Try and wake now we're sulking
Through people chat on the maps)
(Go out of lights from the fence poles)
(Trudging away to a shrine)
(Someone say it's easy)
To look down on the line
I want cups of rain
To pour all on the garden
Once I left today
(All is dry in the evening)
Can we watch the rain
(And sit on hands)
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
The rain it got harder
But the oaks were the same
Taking it easy
(Gold rush on weather vane)
The distant looks ancient
(The present has fast)
Jam with the raindrop
(Why the cat makes a box)
All the objects are dripping
(That weigh the same)
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
And the rain suddenly is gone again
