joshua lee turner - dekalb, illinois lyrics
[verse 1]
the rain so persistent
in dekalb, illinois
can barely find a coffee here much less a cause for joy
of beauty and sorrow
the water bleeds the seam
as for the first time in twenty days to kiss a lucid dream
[chorus]
the rain darkened trunks make the red leaves glow brighter
a ponderous load makes the body seem lighter
and here you are
on a dark and heavy day
both of us wishing you could stay
[verse 2]
a gift of twelve hours
a spiritual souvenir
it’s harder though to receive a gift we know will disappear
encroachment of nausea
as farewells impend
till fitfully we fret to sleep, perchance to dream again
[chorus]
the rain darkened trunks make the red leaves glow brighter
a ponderous load makes the body seem lighter
and there you were
on a dark and heavy day
both of us wishing you could stay
