April Light (Tanya Donelly/Russell Chudnofsky)

Come you hard rain
Wash the grit and grief away
All these shuttered days
Of losses borne alone
Come on you hard rain

Grow up the grass until the sidewalks break
And let in April light
Grow the grass until we’re rolling in it
Roll

Come you hard rain
If it stings, all the better
Now you’ve got my full attention
All the better
To drown the chatter
Come on you hard rain

Grow up the grass until the sidewalks break
And up pours April light
Grow the grass until we’re rolling in it
Roll

Come you hard rain
Take what you need, just bring relief
Bless me, I am clean
Bless you, and I set you free
Come on you hard rain

Up grows the grass
Until we’re rolling in it
Until the sidewalks break

October Snow (Tanya Donelly/Russell Chudnofsky)

White noise and worry became our daily bread
How are you still standing beautiful and brave
The early flakes break on the way to the ground
Primed before their time

White noise it covers
What's done and what's to come
One you can't reckon and one you can't see
Caught between truth and the better story
Spinning in the air

Old whispering soul
You try to lure me home
When you know you know you never give as good as you've taken
And your honey tongue is only salting the wound
Salting the wound

Every day breaks on a newborn breath
All is forgive and so we forget
The early flakes break on the way to the ground
Spinning in the air

Old whispering soul
You try to lure me home
When you know you know I've never been as good as I've played it
And your honey tongue is only salting the wound
Salting the wound

Old whispering soul
Take me home
