about

I used to have such a weak spot for dreadlocks.

lyrics

You grit your teeth against forever,
opening your eyes to contemplate these clouds.
And in your shadow I feel wise,
hanging on your words, holding me together.

Ripe rain, covering skin,
and how I never knew just how to say,
when all is pushed aside, it's been a long, long Saturday.

You can't depend upon the weather
to sort out the lies you've called so close to home.
And, squinting, you'll take no advice,
just your stubborn stance.
Oh, how you might have grown.

Ripe rain, covering skin,
and how I never knew just how to say,
when all is pushed aside, it's been a long, long Saturday.

Turns out these things I place on you,
all these qualities, quantities, quandaries,
aren't just yours to bear.
But I was unaware, that

Ripe rain, covering skin,
shows how I never found the words to say,
these attributes are mine.
It's been a long, long Saturday.
