Glimmer

Who put all those damn rain clouds, in the midst of our

It won’t keep us from dancing in the rain, though we’re not

We’ll swap our wet things for dry ones while the tea kettle

It might look like rain, but hold out hope so long as there’s

Today couldn’t get much worse the pain and the fear, babe I

But screw the odds! I’m not losing sight of the days we dreamt

There’s a bright light perpetually shining inside you, baby

I’m feeding it love and stoking the flames, even in this

And a glimmer was the spark that lit a fire in my heart

No rain, no flood could douse this inferno from the start

And a little glimmer from you and I smile big and wide

Burning love keeps me feeling nice and warm inside

Soon the skies will all turn blue, soon I’ll be lying next

Soon we can laugh until we cry about all that we’ve been

How we kept it together when life couldn’t give us anything

Our hope and love wouldn’t quit as long as there was a there
