Where do I keep the love that got away?
How do I hold the child was never born?
Where will I paint that dream of sunny days
In a heart seeking shelter from the storm?
Don’t own a suitcase full of souvenirs
To bring me comfort when I’m old and gray
Just have this lifetime laced with bitter tears
That I carry like a bucket full of rain

Soak my eyes in a cloudburst pouring
deep into my soul
Wash me over and carry me under but
bear me at last to a heart I can hold

This road been winding like a Rattle Snake
Shedding so many lives along the way
Sometimes it feels its all that I can take
Just to keep moving toward the light of day
Won’t see no baggage strapped across my back
No Tee shirt sermon seeking to explain
The hopes I’ve tied up in that burlap sack
And drowned in a bucket full of rain

Soak my eyes in a cloudburst pouring
deep into my soul
Wash me over and carry me under but
bear me at last to a heart I can hold

Don’t seek a shining city on the hill
Those bright light days are far behind me now
I’m satisfied to walk this fallow field
And rest ‘neath a weather-beaten bough
What shall I offer for this moment’s grace?
To say “I’ve been here on this country lane”
Except a signpost that could leave no trace
Set down in a bucket full of rain
