[Verse 1] Boots on the wet dirt Mud on the hem The fields wake up slow Then they breathe again Drops on the cedar Drip from the eaves Moss on the stone wall Shining through the leaves [Pre-Chorus] You can smell the earth Like it just got home Every broken branch Looks brand new now [Chorus] After the rain, after the rain Everything glows, everything stays After the rain, after the rain Your whole old world comes back awake (comes back awake) Fresh in my hands Soft in the clay After the rain, after the rain I want to stay [Verse 2] Puddles hold the sky In a silver sheet A blackbird shakes off On the fence by the creek Wild roses open Red at the lane Even the quiet Has a sweeter name [Pre-Chorus] You can smell the earth Like it just got home Every broken branch Looks brand new now [Chorus] After the rain, after the rain Everything glows, everything stays After the rain, after the rain Your whole old world comes back awake (comes back awake) Fresh in my hands Soft in the clay After the rain, after the rain I want to stay [Bridge] Let it wash the dust down Let it cool the bone Let the wounded ground Learn how to grow [Final Chorus] After the rain, after the rain Everything glows, everything stays After the rain, after the rain Your whole old world comes back awake (comes back awake) Fresh in my hands Soft in the clay After the rain, after the rain I want to stay [ end ]
