[Verse 1] I found a key in my coat No door around Just a little brass shine In the laundromat sound A kid kicked a cap Across the wet tile floor You laughed at the splash Like you’d seen that before [Pre-Chorus] And I kept it in my palm Like a dare, like a sign Something small can pull the world Right out of line [Chorus] Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain You can’t buy that sky You can’t name that pain Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain One dark drop at a time And I’m alive again [Verse 2] There was jam on your sleeve From the peach you stole The clerk looked away While the ceiling fan rolled You said, “Take what you can If it fits in your coat” So I took that small storm And I took your note [Pre-Chorus] Now the day tastes new Like a train window blur I was going nowhere fast Then I saw her [Chorus] Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain You can’t buy that sky You can’t name that pain Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain One dark drop at a time And I’m alive again [Bridge] Let it spill on the steps Let it tap on the tin Let it wash off the names I was carrying in I don’t need much proof Just the weight in my hand A tiny gray thunder And a second chance [Final Chorus] Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain You can’t buy that sky You can’t name that pain Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain One dark drop at a time And I’m alive again Pocketful of rain Pocketful of rain Hold it close, hold it close Till it starts to sing
