Rain on the Window

Liner Notes

Rain on the Window lives in the space between protection and acceptance. It’s about teaching someone how to sing honestly in a world that doesn’t always reward harmony, then realizing that love can’t fight every battle for them. <em>Rain on the Window</em> isn’t a lament — it’s a quiet vigil, staying present when there’s nothing left to fix and no clear sign of what comes next.

Lyrics

Verse 1
We taught him lyrics
Soft and plain
How to hold a note
In unyielding refrain
Taught him truth
Ain’t always strong
Still worth singing
When the crowd moves on

Verse 2
The world don’t move
In harmony
With promises we sang
Of a life to be
He keeps time
The best he can
No guarantees
For the honest man

Verse 3
I’ve fought battles
I’ve felt pain
I’d gladly stand guard
In the pouring rain
But this ain’t a fight
I can defend
His battles to choose
No view of the end

Verse 4
Rain on the window
Face like the glass
Can’t tell what’s falling
What’s coming past
Ain’t no comfort
Ain’t no sign
Just love awake
When the light don’t shine
