lyrics

When the sun is hidden behind storm clouds, dear
unexpected dreary mornings we may find
We may never know just when or where the lightning will strike
but what good is it to worry, wasting time

Oh, I know you'll touch my neck when you wake up, dear
I've been longing for it since I went to sleep
All the nightmares that pass through my cloudy head in the darkness of the night
are but forgotten when you lay your hand on me

Trilliums take such a long time to grow
You don't see anything for a year
But when the time is right, they'll spread like wild
open their eyes like a newborn child
and the hillsides will be petals of white

When the storms inside your head soak you to the bone
and you can't find the time to dry yourself out
I can't reach inside your head but I can hold you close to me
'til the rain stops pouring from the clouds

Now listen, I'm not afraid of getting poured on
I find myself stuck in my own storms quite a bit
But when the sun comes out, I'll still be here right by your side
and I'll love you like I've loved you this whole time
