As You Lean Into The Light

Gentle rain, here it comes again Rattling 'round your window, threatening pain Coming on like a friend but you know better than Yesterday that held you by a different hand Hail and stone and all that's gone When everything that passes cuts to the bone Turning like a wheel, dragging a heavy stone A weight that ties you down that you will never own Strange to see a paper smile on thee When once you moved and light the room for us all to be Now if I could be the sun I'd shine in your life If I could be the rain I'd rain from your eyes And I'd wash away the emptiness you feel inside --- As You Lean into the Light - Paul Weller
