St. Cecilia's

by Animal Flag

on LP (2016)

It's coming down hard by St. Cecilia's
It's holy water if you can say
That the chemical reactions
You've been causing can qualify me as a saint
'Cause I've been feeling like a martyr for the past 2 years
I've been trying very hard to be brave
But every time I kneel down to meet my maker
The only thing I see is your face

So I hope for both our sakes
That things don't turn out this way
And I apologize for what I'm about
To say to you, to say to you
But you won't find another love like mine

I've over heard a number of conversations
Of people bitching about the rain
So I've learned to love the storm clouds and hazy weather
'Cause It's just another thing we can't change
I've been listening to prophets, the broken-hearted
I've been learning something new everyday
And there's a lesson that's been ringing for weeks in my head
Don't ever trust a heart you can't break

So I hope for both our sakes
That we can see it this way
When the water falls from the sky it does so in ways
We can't anticipate
So maybe we can learn to love the rain
