A Handful Of Rain
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.
Baby don’t be wakeful
Let your daddy sleep
All the things that scare you
Surely, they will keep
Tv news and back rent blues
And all points in between
You count your needs on your worry beads
And then you start it all again
Listen at the window
To the locusts in the trees
Talking ‘bout the heat, you know
Waiting on a breeze
Back porch sounds they slow you down
To a simple kind of view
Front porch speed too much for me
Racing everything they do
And I can’t make out
With all their running ‘round
Where are they going to?
And would they bother if they knew?
That you can’t hold on to a handful of rain
And you can’t teach the wind to call your name
You can’t make a deal with time
And be it not to change
It slips away like a handful of rain
Flowers in the kitchen
Dream catcher by my bed
Can’t you hear the angels
That are singing in my head?
Weave a prayer around you where
You stand in disbelief
Music plays for you always
And puts wings upon your feet
And the brightest road will always go
To where you want to be
And won’t you come with me?
‘Cause you can’t hold on to a handful of rain
And you can’t teach the wind to call your name
You can’t make a deal with time
And be it not to change
It slips away like a handful of rain
Weave a prayer around you where
You stand in disbelief
Music plays with you always
And puts wings upon your feet
And the brightest road will always go
To where you want to be
Won’t you come with me?
‘Cause you can’t hold on to a handful of rain
And you can’t teach the wind to call your name
You can’t make a deal with time
And be it not to change
It slips away like a handful of rain
It slips away like a handful of rain
