Raindrops

Two weeks ago, I was blessed to attend the art gallery opening for "Falling Asleep Behind the Wheel" by my friend. She traveled around the country via Greyhound bus the entire month of September and captured everything and everyone she saw on her camera. She stumbled across this band, Grand Hallway, while in Seattle. When asked if they would come play her gallery opening, they happily DROVE out to MN to play. What a lovely, intimate moment to be in her studio with close friends and family - all supporting the woman she is.

 These are some very simple-yet-complex lyrics I found in this song. The fact that someone would want to be with their significant other at all different times, romantic or not, really means something.

 

 

Listen to all the people walking in the rain
Hear the young mother guide her children by the hand
All the sound of life
All the sound of love

Listen to buildings being torn down to make more room for buildings
Listen to stories disappearing under wrecking balls and cranes
All the sights are fading
All the sound of fading
But I’d rather be with you
Anyway

Oh oh oh oohhhh

All the sound of life
All the sound of change
All the sound of starting
Over from the start
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you when you’re starting out

I wanna be with you when you’re waking up
I wanna be with you,
When you wash your hair
I wanna be with you,
When you’re taking coffee home
I wanna be with you,
When you go to work
I wanna be with you,
When you eating lunch
I wanna be with you,
When you pay your bills
I wanna be with you,
When you’re dancing on the floor
I wanna be with you,
When you hear this song
I wanna be with you,
When you close you close your eyes at night
Listening to those drops of rain
I wanna be with you,
When you have the time
I wanna be with you,
When you have more time
I wanna be with you,
When you’re in love with the thought of love once more

Listen to all the people walking in the rain
Hear the young mother guide her children by the hand
All the sound of life
All the sound of love

Listen to buildings being torn down to make more room for buildings
Listen to stories disappearing under wrecking balls and cranes
All the sights are fading
All the sound of fading
But I’d rather be with you
Anyway

Oh oh oh oohhhh

All the sound of life
All the sound of change
All the sound of starting
Over from the start
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you when you’re starting out

I wanna be with you when you’re waking up
I wanna be with you,
When you wash your hair
I wanna be with you,
When you’re taking coffee home
I wanna be with you,
When you go to work
I wanna be with you,
When you eating lunch
I wanna be with you,
When you pay your bills
I wanna be with you,
When you’re dancing on the floor
I wanna be with you,
When you hear this song
I wanna be with you,
When you close you close your eyes at night
Listening to those drops of rain
I wanna be with you,
When you have the time
I wanna be with you,
When you have more time
I wanna be with you,
When you’re in love with the thought of love once more
