lyrics

More than half of the time, it’s no coincidence
It’s hard for things to happen that way all on their own
Whether someone’s pulling the strings to help us to make sense of this
There’s always an extra plate waiting at home

There’s always an outside chance things will be different this time
There’s sometimes a gallon or two hidden somewhere
With the rain falling in full measure, it isn’t the forgiving kind
After half the sky has fallen still unprepared

But if you died on a rainy Sunday
Or if you bargained for another ride
Found a way to stay until Monday
Or even if you tried
To gather up your sons and your daughters
Gather what has helped before
Maybe this one will be worth the bother if you pay a little more

It’s always worth the time that it takes just to ask around
It’s always worth at least just one more knock on the door
Take another empty box to another empty town
It’s always worked out just fine before

But if you died on a rainy Sunday
Or if you bargained for another ride
Found a way to stay until Monday
Or even if you tried
To gather up your sons and your daughters
Gather what has helped before
Maybe this one will be worth the bother if you pay a little more

But if you captured all their flags before sunrise
You might be sleeping in their beds that night
You could be dreaming of a new revolution
By the time you turn out the light
And if you’re tired of the endless glory
And if you ache for some other force
You could be carried down a different river
You could be carried down a different river
