The Rain / Sparrow Creek Lyrics by Elbows

Sycamore EP

2018

[Part 1: "The Rain"]

[Intro Verse]
Through the cobblestones the fish are swimming
Up, down, smothered in their coats bound homeward
Under cover of the ivy the clouds drip
Cats, dogs, socks wet, waiting for a stopped bus

[Verse 1]
Windy City blew a cold shoulder
That knocked my wind out
Seen the cat eye had my tongue tied up
And knots my system
Placed all of my eggs into your basket case
Looks turned sour how’d you make the salty dog seem
Sweet dreaming of clearer days and cliches
But I’m trapped ‘neath your dark cloud, with hands up
Praying for

[Bridge]
The rain
The rain

[Refrain]
When the rain falls, replay all those days long gone
When the rain falls, replay all those days long gone

[Verse 2]
Winter splinter since I first set foot
Chopped analogues in the lumber yard
Dodged a crash course full of bumper cars
‘Round midnight the 2 AM Club buzzed
Dull bulbs in chandeliers, burnt out shadows leer
While deer crossing near
Homesick though I never lived on Sycamore Street
Masked black sheep where we used to trick or treat
I’m sewing seeds throughout the sheets of the creek bed
Branched out, turned a leaf, returned to receive

[Bridge]
The rain
The rain

[Refrain]
When the rain falls, replay all those days long gone
When the rain falls, replay all those days long gone
When the rain falls, replay all those days long gone
When the rain falls, replay all those days long gone
When the rain falls

[Part 2: "Sparrow Creek"]

[Outro]
Sleep in the creek
Asleep in the creek
Sleep in the creek
Asleep in the creek
Sleep in the creek
Asleep in the creek
Sleep in the creek
Asleep in the creek
