Lyrics

[Intro - Instrumental, 30-40 seconds, sparse, Rhodes and vibraphone, minor key, slow building, conga pattern low in mix, no vocals]

[Verse 1 - Male Vocal, Baritone, close and quiet]
Is there weather coming? Is there something in the air?
I've been watching the same sky for longer than I know
I stopped asking a while back
I stopped waiting for the rainbow

[Verse 2]
Is there anybody coming up that road?
Is there any reason I should leave the porch tonight?
I used to know the answers
I used to know the questions, too

[Chorus]
And I'm afraid
Of the weather coming in
I'm afraid
Of the thing I prayed for
I've been dry so long
I don't know how to stand in rain
I don't know how to stand in rain

[Verse 3]
Mother, is this the answer?
Is this the thing I asked for when I couldn't ask anymore?
The dust is coming up to meet the water
I don't know which one I am

[Bridge - slower, quieter]
Will you tell me when it's over?
Will you tell me when I'm through?
I have been standing on this porch so long
I don't remember how the world turns into something new

[Instrumental Break - 15-20 seconds, vibraphone figure more active, congas steady, Rhodes pad underneath]

[Verse 4]
There is rain on the roof. There is rain on the roof.
There is rain on the roof tonight.
I don't know who I'll be tomorrow
But there is rain on the roof tonight

[Final Chorus - fragmented, broken phrasing]
And I'm afraid
Of the weather
I'm not afraid
Of the weather
I've been dry so long
I don't know how to stand in rain
I don't know how to stand in rain

[Outro - Instrumental, 30-45 seconds, slow fade, vibraphone and Rhodes carrying the melody, congas underneath, rain sounds optional if Suno offers them]
