Well the dog stole your paper and left you to think
About the things you were afraid of, a world drowned in ink
When you wrote every moment, and left them to sink

I don't blame you, I don't blame you, anymore

Like a soft, fallen rain

Sinks in slow, that's how you'll know, my love
Well, we scrawled our names in concrete, and in the silver birch
When measures of our income weren't measures of our worth

But we came from the dust and return to the Earth
It's a dying, it's a dying, way we live


Like a soft, fallen rain
Sinks in slow, that's how you'll know
Like a soft, fallen rain

Sinks in slowly, that's how you'll know

So she folded up her fears like paper airplanes

Sent them flying out the window, and out into the rain
She says, I don't care if I don't see them again
I don't need them, I don't need them, not today


Like a soft, fallen rain
Sinks in slow, that's how you'll know

Like a soft, fallen rain
Sinks in slow, that's how you'll know
Like a soft, fallen rain

It sinks in slowly, that's how you'll know
