The Road That Only Appears in Rain

Verse 1

Thunder cracks the gutter sky

Water braids the gravel lines

I've walked a thousand empty miles before this

But something in the storm tonight is different

Down where the ditch bends low

A ribbon starts to glow

Like a secret the clouds are finally letting go

Pre-Chorus

And the rain keeps falling

Falling like a key

Turning in a lock I've never seen

Chorus

The road that only appears in rain

Rolls out like a promise taking me away

Follow the silver through the dark

To a place that can't exist

But the water knows the way

Verse 2

Every streetlight keeps its head down

Every house forgets my name

But this path it hums a low cathedral

Song of somewhere strange

My boots are worn to asking

The sky keeps pushing back

Yet something in the downpour keeps me walking

Keeps me on the track

Pre-Chorus

And the rain keeps falling

Falling like a key

Turning in a lock I've never seen

Chorus

The road that only appears in rain

Rolls out like a promise taking me away

Follow the silver through the dark

To a place that can't exist

But the water knows the way

Bridge

Now the sky folds back like paper

And the clouds hang wide and blue

Every drop suspended mid-air

Suspended waiting for someone new

Is this heaven or a fever

Is this mine or is it you

The road is made of nothing but light

And the light is made of truth

Chorus

The road that only appears in rain

Rolls out like a promise taking me away

Follow the silver through the dark

To a place that can't exist

But the water knows the way

Outro

The water knows the way

The water knows the way

Mm

The water knows
