Held His Gaze

Two drops falling down
 Right into the mix
 The pastry takes on power
 When tears are in the flour
 It rattles in her hands
 The fork against the plate
 The napkin falls on tiles
 The sugar falls in piles
 The superstitious bride
 Is laughing in the car
 She lighting little fires
 While he's outside fixing tires
 But the smile fades from her face
 Like her breath fades from the windshield
 Of all the days to rain
 Of all the days to rain
 But she held his gaze for days
 The children at his knees
 Are outside getting wet
 They've knocked down a bunch of trees
 And they're not finished yet
 'Cause they saw it in his face
 And they heard it when he talked
 Spread nails all over the place
 And then they hid behind a rock
 But she held his gaze for days
 Is it time to tell them?
 Should we make it public?
 We have such a secret
 Is it really worth keeping?
 She's sleeping down the hall
 And she held his gaze for days
