Rain on the Lake


Forty days down, got a little over fifteen to go
And while this time is my friend, I swear not my foe
What I leave and what I take
I'll trade it all for the sound of the rain on the lake
        What I can see
        What I leave
        What I take
        I'll trade it all for the rain on the lake

I gave up walking and kisses and such
And I'll starve myself of anyone's touch
And all these sacrifices I make
I'd trade them all for the rain on the lake

From my window I go ahead and love everything
And while the earth is humming, I hear trees sing
And all these sounds I hear the seasons make
I'd trade them all for the rain on the lake

The pane of a window, and a little bit of pain from regret
And all of these people I cannot forget
What I leave and what I take
I'd trade them all for the rain on the lake
