Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
Verse 1
Painted windows on a rainy street
I traced your name with a trembling hand
The lanterns in the harbor blink so slow tonight
Like fireflies forgetting where to land
Holding onto nothing but the hum
Of a city that never quite learns to rest
I carried all our letters in an old tin box
And buried them beneath my chest
Pre-Chorus
And if the stars go quiet
And if the tide withdraws
I'll still be standing by the gate
Waiting for your call
Chorus
Come find me where the willow bends
Where the river learns my name
I'll be the echo after thunder ends
The shelter in the rain
Oh, shelter in the rain
Post-Chorus
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Hold me
Hold me
Verse 2
Morning breaks across the temple roof
A thousand whispers in the bamboo shade
I carved our promise on a fallen stone
Hoping time would let it fade
You left your coat on my kitchen chair
Your coffee ring still circles on the wood
I trace the shape of every absent word
And wonder if you understood
Pre-Chorus
And if the sky goes gray
And if the road runs cold
I'll still be turning toward your light
The way I did of old
Chorus
Come find me where the willow bends
Where the river learns my name
I'll be the echo after thunder ends
The shelter in the rain
Oh, shelter in the rain
Bridge
Someday the tide will ask my name
Someday the wind will learn to speak
I'll tell them every little thing
Every little thing in Greek
Chorus
Come find me where the willow bends
Where the river learns my name
I'll be the echo after thunder ends
The shelter in the rain
Oh, shelter in the rain
Oh, shelter in the rain
Post-Chorus
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Hold me
Hold me
Mm-hmm
