Relic of the Rain

from Ordinary Elephant by Ordinary Elephant

lyrics

Some days I am lightning
I am crashing in
Shouting out across the static

Other days I am an arrow
Depending on the bend of the bow
The blowing of the wind

But some things I never question
Hard rain or an unexpected lesson
I just breathe ‘em in

You were a summer storm
Right out of nowhere
And when the light hits your eyes just right
I see a relic of the rain that brought us here

Some days play back like movies in my head
I point out what I could have said
That might have changed the ending

Other days read like the first page of that favorite book
I’ve read a hundred times
Still can’t wait for where it’s going

‘Cause the same things are holding brighter light
To shine on what’s always been
Leave me too surprised to second guess it

You were a summer storm
Right out of nowhere
And when the light hits your eyes just right
I see a relic of the rain that brought us here

This morning in the sleepy kitchen
Sunlight was dancing
I was lost in my head
In a crowd of everyone I’ve never been
Then your laugh cracked a smile across the quiet
I breathed deep and grateful to be reminded
Of everything that has shown up when I can’t find it
On my own

You were a summer storm
Right out of nowhere
And when the light hits your eyes just right
I see a relic of the rain that brought us here
