Lyrics

Wind died, smoke cleared
Fire’s out, but you’re not here
In the ashes and the questions
There’s no one left to call

I’m flying back to Houston alone
To your kingdom of wood with my heart of stone
Are you listening? I’m coming home
My eyes have never been so clear
Gulf’s never seemed so small

Whisper a prayer for the clouds to gather
And finally the rain may fall
Oh, finally the rain may fall
Finally the rain may fall

I left you under the olive tree
In a circle of who we used to be
Where the grass is growing green and oh so tall
Where the river runs, and we are free

Oh and finally, finally

Oh oh, finally the rain may fall
Finally the rain may fall
Finally the rain may fall

I spent my whole life trying not to need you
Hurting for a love I could never have at all
Crossed over my last line trying to escape you
With a thousand miles and a crumbling wall
Now I’m standing here in your lone star state
Where you’re still the only star at all
Delivering my last heartbreak

And finally the rain (where the river runs)
Finally the rain (here it comes)

Oh oh, finally the rain may fall
(Let it fall where we used to be)
Finally the rain may fall
(Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes)
Finally the rain may fall
