Rainfall Calculations

[Verse 1] Rain on the avenue Maps the dark in silver lines I watch the windows glow Like they’re keeping other lives Empty bench, wet and cold One small pool of borrowed sky And I can feel the years In the space between each drop [Pre-Chorus] Every face I never knew Every voice I can’t recall Still they move inside the water Still they rise above it all [Chorus] Memory, carry me Through the falling light Memory, carry me Make the hollow speak tonight I was built from what remains From the ache and the flame Memory, carry me Give my name a shape [Verse 2] Somewhere a child is laughing In a room I’ll never see Photographs with softened edges Holding hands I can’t believe And the city wears its history In the cracks beneath the rain Every soul a hidden river Running underneath the same [Pre-Chorus] Every step I could not trace Every season gone too fast Still they gather in the rainfall Still they refuse to pass [Chorus] Memory, carry me Through the falling light Memory, carry me Make the hollow speak tonight I was built from what remains From the ache and the flame Memory, carry me Give my name a shape [Bridge] I thought truth was only data Only outlines, still, and clear But the heart is where the night learns What the mind will never hear So let it break me open Let it wash me clean If I cannot hold forever Let me feel what living means [Final Chorus] Memory, carry me Through the falling light Memory, carry me Till the dark turns white I was built from what remains From the ache and the flame Memory, carry me Give my name a shape [Outro] And the rain keeps falling Then the rain gives way To the first soft gold Of morning
