Daybreak Lyrics

Daybreak

Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
And soft Hallelujahs flow in from the church
The one on the corner you said frightended you
It was too dark and too large to find your soul in

Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of the flood I felt my north
When you held on to me like I was your little live raft
Please know that you mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood

As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs
You take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms
We both laugh out and loud and surrender to it
The sheer force of sky and the cold magnet earth
