After The Rain

We sat there exposed
to the wind and the thunder
Chilled to the bone
Huddled together
You kissed me goodbye
And I called God a liar
We snuck off like thieves
with our backs to each other
After the rain
After the rain

When I think of you
you're half in a shadow
with a heart on your sleeve
and a chain round your ankle
When I think of you
I can go where I want to
I just close my eyes
and I wish myself back to
After the rain
After the rain

The days fall behind
and I'm back in the saddle
I meant what I said
when I said that I'd follow
you down to the banks
of that old Russian River
Where I took off my boots
and I walked in the water
After the rain
After the rain
