Dark Sky

Dark clouds are hanging heavy on the damp street Rain taps out a steady rhythm underneath Cold water pooling in the gravel drive And not a single promise of blue alive Let the dark sky pour, let the thunder roll There’s an ember burning deep inside my soul Every heavy drop is washing grief away I’m holding out for a brighter day I see the silver in the gray The windowpane is running wet droplets with the storm Looking outside I wrap my jacket tight to keep me warm The shadows stretch to reach across the kitchen floor But I am looking toward an open door Let the dark sky pour, let the thunder roll There’s an ember burning deep inside my soul Every heavy drop is washing grief away I’m holding out for a brighter day I see the silver in the gray No storm has ever stayed forever high The darkest midnight yields into the sky I feel the wind begin to turn around I feel the wind begin to turn around A little sunlight breaking through the sound Let the dark sky pour, let the thunder roll T
