Lyrics — written by hand
Intro(Mm) listen to it come
VerseIt started while you were reading
and you didn't notice when.
Now the gutters are talking quietly
and the street has gone dark again.
It isn't trying to finish.
It isn't behind on a plan.
It falls at exactly the pace it falls
and it has since the world began.
Rain doesn't rush.
It doesn't get it done.
It arrives the whole night long
and it's not competing with anyone.
Put the lamp on low and leave it,
pull the blanket to your chin.
Let the weather be the only thing
that's allowed to be coming in.
Rain doesn't rush.
It doesn't get it done.
It arrives the whole night long
and it's not competing with anyone.
If you want a teacher, there it is,
tapping on the sill.
Steady is a kind of kindness.
Unhurried is a skill.
Rain doesn't rush.
It doesn't get it done.
It arrives the whole night long
and it's not competing with anyone.
(Mm) tapping on the sill.
(Mm) all night, no hurry.
