From the recording Rain
Lyrics
[instrumental intro}
[intro]
What is it about the blades of grass
That grow slowly in the day
And keep covering up the path
That is showing me the way
[verse]
What is it about the trees
That shade the walk i take
Darkening each unsure step
Hovering above mistakes I make
[chorus]
What is it about this life
That carries me away
From all I believe
And Certainty
Every time I think I know
What is true
Reality exposes me
my confidence Comes unglued
[verse]
What is it about the waves
the sound they make
The tide rolling in
time suspends as they break
[verse]
What is it about the sand
And the grains in my hand
The endless stretches
A blanket where I stand
[bridge]
What is it about the blazing sun
The heat on my skin
burning through layers
scorching through the sin
[chorus]
What is it about this life
That carries me away
From all I believe
And Certainty
Every time I think I know
What is true
Reality exposes me
my confidence Comes unglued
[verse]
What is it about the snow
The bitter cold
The wind and chill
I'm not getting younger, I'm feeling old
[verse]
What is it about this winter
The shorter days
And many ways
That I seek warmth and comfort
[bridge]
Was it about how alone I felt
Staring up at the sky
Looking for closure
After endless questions why
[chorus]
What is it about this life
That carries me away
From all I believe
And Certainty
Every time I think I know
What is true
Reality exposes me
my confidence Comes unglued
[verse]
What is it about the sound of your voice
That sings in my ear
Cuts through the growing noise
And tells me you care
[verse]
What is it about the silence
The things I can't hear
Sounds of breathing and being
That suddenly appear
[bridge]
What is it about seeing you again
For the first time each day
It feels like you are always new
And i’m not sure what to say
[outro]
I’m not sure what to say
What is it about this life
And the moments with you
That carry me away
I’m not sure what to say
What is it about this life
And the moments with you
That carry me away
