Rain

rain like, its been too long
like its always been away
rain like, like a new cloud
bleeding night into grey
bring all or nothing
short of 40 nights and days
or show me a mile away

and rain til you cant remember earth
til my feet cant feel the dirt
and my eyes see a mile away
til my feet can feel the sand
and i close my selfish hands
and pray that you wash it away
wash it away

brake once and i spin twice
gripping my last grain of sand
mixed with one tear, and with two drops
of sweat on which i stand
flashlights like a sunbeams
take me off this soiled land
and show me a mile away
