I tried to be brave but I hid in the dark

I sat in that cave and I prayed for a spark

And the rain kept falling

 C majorC
Down on the roof of the church where I cried

To get up and get out but a part of me died

So I'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone

And the rain keeps falling

I'm so tired of this game, of these songs, of the road
     FF
I'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote

My daughter and I put the seeds in the dirt
   FF
And every day now we've been watching the earth

For a sign that this death will give way to a birth
     FF
And the rain keeps falling

 C majorC
Down on the soil where the sorrow is laid

And the secret of life is igniting the grave

And I'm dying to live but I'm learning to wait

And the rain is falling

Is it true?
