 Blue  light rain,
 well  unbroken chain,
 
 Looking  for familiar faces
 in  an empty  window pane.
 Listening  for the  secret,
 searching  for the  sound
 But  I could  only hear the preacher
 
 
 and the  baying of his hounds.
 
 Willow  sky, woh,
 I  walk and wonder why,
 
 They  say love your brother,
 but  you will  catch it when you  try.
 Roll  you down the line  poor boy,
 drop  you for a loss,
 Ride  you out on  the cold railroad
 and  nail you to a cross.
 ||:
 
   :|| 4 times
 
 November  and  more,
 as  I wait for the score,
 
 They're  telling me forgiveness
 is  the key  to every door.
 A  slow winter day
 a  night like forever
 sink  like a stone,
 float  like the feather.
 ||:
 
   :|| 4 times
 
 
 
 Lilac  rain, unbroken  chain
 
 
 Song  of  the Saw-Whet owl.
 Out  on a mountain, it'll  drive you insane
 
 
 Listening  to the winds howl.
 Unbroken  chain of sorrow  and pearls,
 
 
 Unbroken  chain of sky and sea.
 Unbroken  chain of the western  wind,
 
 
 Unbroken  chain  of you  and me.
