Lyrics

It's Not Raining
by Emily Richards

Saw the lights come up through the window
Sit up straight now breathing in
A desert wind
I know you know the plane is going to 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 felt anything in this world you've built
And lived in
And how long with 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 like you better, I like you better
I like you better this way
