Rain Off the Cover
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Rain drips off the black canvas rim
Steady as a hymn
I watch it fall and think of you
Every beat is slow and grim

[Pre-chorus]
You never made a show of staying
Just stood there while the sky was greying
Now I can't find the words I'm saying

[Chorus]
Alan, you're the one I lean on
Quiet as the rain that's gone
Nothing fancy, nothing sold
Just you, Alan, worth more than gold

[Verse 2]
The cover holds the water back
Keeps the worst off of my track
You do that without a word
Some love shouts, yours moves like Alan

[Chorus]
Alan, you're the one I lean on
Quiet as the rain that's gone
Nothing fancy, nothing sold
Just you, Alan, worth more than gold

[Bridge]
Some folks need the loud and bright
I just need you home tonight
Take your hand and hold on tight

[Chorus]
Alan, you're the one I lean on
Quiet as the rain that's gone
Nothing fancy, nothing sold
Just you, Alan, worth more than gold

[Outro]
The rain still drips off canvas edges
I'm still glad you're mine to hold
