Between the Rain
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Wet leaves stuck to the old shovel handle
Rust on my hands, and I didn't mind
I was thinking of you the whole time
A small thing, but it made me stand still

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need much to remember you
Just rain and the smell of the ground
You're always the thought I come back to

[Chorus]
Doreen, you're the calm in my weather
Nobody holds me steady like you do
You showed up quiet, and you stayed true
Doreen, I'd choose you altogether

[Verse 2]
Years fold over like leaves in autumn
Still I find you underneath them all
You never asked me to be anything but honest
And I have loved you plain and small

[Chorus]
Doreen, you're the calm in my weather
Nobody holds me steady like you do
You showed up quiet, and you stayed true
Doreen, I'd choose you altogether

[Bridge]
I've seen you tired, I've seen you certain
Both times you looked like home to me
There's nothing shining, nothing hidden
Just you, and how you let me see

[Chorus]
Doreen, you're the calm in my weather
Nobody holds me steady like you do
You showed up quiet, and you stayed true
Doreen, I'd choose you altogether

[Outro]
Somewhere a shovel rusts in the rain
I'm still glad I thought of your name
