Blackberries and Rain

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain washed the heavy air
Sitting on my metal chair
Rust on the fire escape
Shadows take a softer shape
Steam rising from the street below
Watch the evening traffic glow
[Pre-Chorus]
Mr. Harris calls my name
Leaning out his window frame
Holding up a plastic bowl
Healing for a heavy soul
[Chorus]
Wild blackberries and rain
Washing away the old pain
Sweetness on my tongue
Song that is newly sung
Little threads that start to sew
All the broken parts I know
[Verse]
He tells me stories of the past
How the summer doesn't last
We laugh about the heat
Neighbors walking down the street
I felt so lost before
Now I find an open door
[Pre-Chorus]
Dark juice staining on my skin
Let the quiet healing in
No more drifting out at sea
Standing where I want to be
[Chorus]
Wild blackberries and rain
Washing away the old pain
Sweetness on my tongue
Song that is newly sung
Little threads that start to sew
All the broken parts I know
[Bridge]
Grief is a heavy tide
Nowhere left for me to hide
But a simple word
Sweetest thing I ever heard
Bridges built across the space
Right here in this gentle place
[Chorus]
Wild blackberries and rain
Washing away the old pain
Sweetness on my tongue
Song that is newly sung
Little threads that start to sew
All the broken parts I know
[Outro]
