It's Not Raining
by Emily Richards (RillRiver Publishing ASCAP)
Saw the lights come up through the window
Sit up straight now
Breathing in a desert wind
I know you know the plane is gonna stop here
The air here is drying up my skin
It’s not raining today
So just stop looking
And looking away
I like you better that way
In just five days I’ve lived that night ten thousand times
Could swear he was singing about you and you and me
On a hillside without lights or clouding over
I saw a big sky through two shades of green
It’s not raining today
So just stop looking
And looking away
I like you better that way
It’s not raining today
How long has it been
Since you were clothed in a southern evening
Since you’ve felt anything
In this world you’ve built and lived in
And how long will this go on
I know there must be some kind of ending
Still I’m rehearsing all that could have been
You read a magazine
And share your hand
You lay the seat back
And touch my face again
It’s not raining today
Why don’t you stay
Stay longer than yesterday
You know I’d like it that way
It’s not raining today
So don’t go, don’t go just yet
And don’t forget your Elisabeth
We’re going home today
She’s out there waiting
Waiting and they
Like you better that way
It’s not raining
Whisper my name
I love the things you say
I like you better
I like you better
I like you better this way
