| Come Out of the Rain |
| Come out of the rain I know this door swings inward Come in from the cold Where the homefires can warm you You’ve come to this place Like a dream unredeemed Looking to hang your hat Expecting no welcome Desiring of fellowship Come out of the rain and come in The streets grow dark And the sidewalks roll up Your town is still waiting For a prodigal visitation And all of your wishes were laid to waste For a taste of the outside world And how will I welcome you Since everything fell? How will I warm you with the cold still within me? Well, the sight of you warmed me Unexpected, unbidden So I cannot deny you An entrance here Come out of the rain And the scars fade slightly Come in from the cold And the wounds turn to words Come into my home It has not changed in your absence Nothing has changed but your not being here -catnip, scarboro- |
