Lyrics
Verse 1]
Mud on the lane again
Bootprints in the clay
You left your coat by the door
Then you walked away
I watched the fence line bow
Under that heavy sky
Every track we made
Kept teaching me to hide
Chorus
Let the rain fallin down
(Let it rain)
Wash ruts away
Let it rain
(Let it rain)
Wash away
Let it rain
(Let it rain)
Wash ruts away
Leave the gates
(Leave the gates)
Swinging wide
With nowhere left
(Nowhere left)
For us to hide
Verse 2
Standing by the window
Full of a beaten sound
Some doubts in my throat
Keeps pulling me down
I tried to keep the door
From shaking in the wind
But the time remembers
What the heart won’t mend
Chorus
Let the rain fallin down
(Let it rain)
Wash ruts away
Let it rain
(Let it rain)
Wash away
Let it rain
(Let it rain)
Wash ruts away
Leave the gates
(Leave the gates)
Swinging wide
With nowhere left
(Nowhere left)
For us to hide
Bridge
If every road is marked
Then let the markings go
If every line we drew
Must disappear, I know
I’ll stand in the open
Hands out to the cold
Let the sky take hold
Let the old grief roll
Chorus
Let the rain fallin down
(Let it rain)
Wash ruts away
Let it rain
(Let it rain)
Wash away
Let it rain
(Let it rain)
Wash ruts away
Leave the gates
(Leave the gates)
Swinging wide
With nowhere left
(Nowhere left)
For us to hide
