I’ve been walking on my knees,
I’ve been talking through my teeth,
I’ve been seeing with my eyes closed shut
and now I’m thinking
Sunday morning I wake up,
I pray to no one and fill my cup,
The cold dawn rising chills my bones,
and now I’m walking down the road
I never asked for the rain,
but it fell down any way
Days are falling in their place,
We burn this city every day
They’ve been telling all of their sons
to walk that beaten path and please don’t run
closing those doors, the only ones and they’ve got frozen tongues
and now they’re waiting on their day to break and I hope it comes
I never asked for the rain,
but it fell down any way
Days are falling in their place,
We burn this city every day
