Asleep in the Rain

[Verse 1] I found a calendar with no numbers Just smudges where the days should be Your jacket’s still asleep on the sofa Breathing in circles, forgetting me The sidewalks whisper like cassette tapes Spooling their secrets through the cracks I follow them barefoot into silence But the silence doesn’t follow back [Chorus] The radio fell asleep in the rain Dreaming of songs it can’t explain Static and thunder share the refrain And none of the voices know my name [Verse 2] I put your perfume on the doorway So maybe the light will recognize But the lamps all flicker with excuses And the mirrors refuse my eyes There’s a letter folded in my heartbeat Addressed to a house that doesn’t stand I try to mail it to the ocean But it slips like salt through my hand [Chorus] The radio fell asleep in the rain Dreaming of songs it can’t explain Static and thunder share the refrain And none of the voices know my name [Bridge] A train crawls slow through the horizon Its windows painted shut with sky I thought I saw you in the last car But it vanished before I could try [Chorus – final] The radio fell asleep in the rain Sings to the shadows, soft and insane Static and thunder carry the pain And none of the echoes know my name [Outro – whispered hum of melody] Just rain, just rain, It only ever says rain
