lyrics

The rain is abducting children –
gone into the night cloaked in garbage bags,
floating paper boats past the gutters,
wading knee-deep in tomorrow’s puddles.

Daddy’s sitting in the garage holding a beer.
He’s been watching the storm for hours –
marking the dwindling distance between
lightning streak and thunder clap.
“God’s up there bowling, did you hear that?
He just got another strike.”

Mr. Vanuch’s standing next to an overturned canoe
in his front yard, leaning against a long oar.
His shirt is soaked, dark hair showing through
“Boy you better get back inside –
the rain is abducting children, it said so on the news.”

I go into the night with a scorched mouth,
holding it open to the sky, ready to drink the storm
down and keep the children safe.
The grass drops away from my bare feet – it’s deeper
than I think.
My daddy drops his beer as the water sweeps me away.

The rain is abducting children –
gone into the night cloaked in garbage bags,
floating paper boats past the gutters,
wading over their heads in tomorrow’s puddles.
