Midland Rain The dust was thick on the window pane. We hadn't seen a drop in months, just the heat and the strain. You walked out on the rooftop, looking at the sky. I saw the first drop fall, and I saw you close your eyes. The city was silent, holding its breath. Scared of the thunder, scared to death. But you just stood there, arms open wide. With nothing to fear, and nothing to hide. It was the moment that I saw you. The real you under clouds of gray. You stole my heart, yeah you. When I saw you play. In that Midland rain. Oh, that Midland rain. You spun around in circles, soaking through your shirt. Washing off the memories, washing off the hurt. You looked at me and smiled, like you’d never known a cage. Like you were just a story on a brand new page. I never said a word, I just watched you spin. Letting the water touch your skin. God, you looked radiant, wild and free. You were so beautiful and free.i It was the moment that I saw you. The real you under clouds of gray. You stole my heart, yeah you. When I saw you play. In that Midland rain. Oh, that Midland rain. Time moves fast, and the ground dries. But sometimes I still see that storm in your eyes. I keep that memory in a frame of gold. Something to warm me when the nights get cold. It was the moment that I saw you. The real you under clouds of gray. You stole my heart, yeah you. When I saw you play. In that Midland rain. Oh, that Midland rain. In that Midland rain (Just you and the rain...) God, I miss that Midland rain (My beautiful rain...)
