• Rain sheeted down without mercy
    It would never cease
    I held out my hand and waited
    Waited for you to escape with me
    To a place where no one knows
    To a place where we can finally be free

    The water began to rise
    Shifting around my ankles
    We ran as far as we could
    But the rain had consumed our hidden place
    And so we ventured on, searching
    For a place where we can finally be free

    The numb chilling embrace
    As the downpour waded up to my waist
    We hid under the willow tree
    As rained cried from its emerald leaves
    And so we waited for a place
    For a place where we can finally be free

    The rain never halted that day
    It rose higher, stealing our breath
    I held you above my head
    So at least you could live
    And so I struggled for you
    For a place where you could be free
