[Verse 1] I found a marble in my coat Blue stripe, chipped edge, warm like hope Kept it rolling in my palm Like a tiny, stubborn drum You wrote your name on a deli cup Then laughed when it got torn up I still saved that paper ring Like it meant everything [Pre-Chorus] And the day went crooked Then it turned sweet I was half in the gutter Half on my feet [Chorus] Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain I wear the weather And I dance through pain Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain If the sky falls down I still sing my name [Verse 2] At the bus stop, old gum on the seat A grocery cart with one bad wheel You said, “Pick the weirdest thing” So I picked a bent-up key Now it lives by my bed at night Little metal bite of light Tells me lost things can stay And still find their way [Pre-Chorus] And the day went crooked Then it turned sweet I was half in the gutter Half on my feet [Chorus] Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain I wear the weather And I dance through pain Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain If the sky falls down I still sing my name [Bridge] Salt on my sleeve Mud on my shoes What I thought was wreckage Turned into blues So hand me the storm Let it come close I keep the small bright thing That I need most [Final Chorus] Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain I wear the weather And I dance through pain Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain If the sky falls down I still sing my name Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain I keep one little storm And I make it shine
