Listen to Running From The Rain

Running From The Rain live at Packard Music Hall January 2022

Lyrics:

Arc-Lamps, Signal Flares, a Shower of White (The Light):

Instrumental

Running from the Rain:

There was a sound, split all the heavens apart
On the northern wind, out in a southern spark
Oh, I will be with you, running from the rain

When it reaches the end of the line
I see myself reflected in broken glass
As the gates come crashing down

There is blood on the tracks tonight
And rust inside our veins
Will it ache every time I hear the storm
running behind me?

There were some younger kids
Who followed the tracks that day
It was a passing afternoon
that came and took them away

So we forgot our names
Lying in the tall grass
underneath the billboard dreams
Oh, I will be with you, running from the rain

When it reaches the end of the line
I see myself reflected in broken glass
As the gates come crashing down

There is blood on the tracks tonight
And rust inside our veins
Will it ache every time I hear the storm?
It's running all over
It's running all over
It's running all over
It's running all over me.
Running from the rain

See the steam in the distant hills
See the rooftops glitter in the sun
Hear the summer counting down,
Running out, running from the rain
Operator, Operator, did you lose your way
when you got that call your brother made?
You're sick of running and you know it's true
you're coming back,
running from the rain

About the songs:

• Running From The Rain originated out of Tom Keeley and Geoff Rickly just playing guitar and bass on their own and suddenly clicking when what they were playing matched.
• Geoff Rickly described it to be very different and less neurotic from their other songs as they just came up with it outside of Thursday. Full explanation.
• The Japanese edition of the album included a remix of Running From The Rain by Dave Fridmann. (If anyone can find an audio, please share)
