Dry My Tears

There's a sorrow handed down to me
 Is it written in the stars
 Like a siren calling through the streets
 We hope we know what's ours
 The story that you passed along
 Isn't what I've known
 The words I have sewn
 Are a quilt of my own
 Let the damn rush and overflow
 Throw this coat off of me
 When I'm caught in the undertow
 Anyone can see I just can't leave
 Funny how the drought became
 An abundant flow of rain
 At night I heard a lark cry out
 We'll sing until we're drained
 I felt a storm a comin on, I rushed into the wind
 Matters where ya been
 Live and breathe again
 Let the damn rush and overflow
 Throw this coat off of me
 When I'm caught in the undertow
 Anyone can see I just can't leave alone
 Oh your troubles dance upon the floor
 I couldn't hesitate, I couldn't wait to find the door
 Oh, when I know I don't belong
 I'm burdened by the weight
 You feel you'll suffocate
 I had the heart to sympathize
 And though I've never worn your shoes
 Your song is too familiar it keeps me on the move
 In windy skies of blue
 Let the damn rush and overflow
 Throw this coat off of me
 When I'm caught in the undertow
 Anyone can see I just can't leave
 Let the damn rush and overflow
 Throw this coat off of me
 When I'm caught in the undertow
 Anyone can see I just can't leave alone
