Under the Zinc Roof

Under the zinc roof (mmm)
Listening to the rain
Under the zinc roof (mmm)
Just you and me again

Thunder rolling soft on the far hillside
Candle in the window, nowhere to hide
Two warm cups on the table by our side
Rain on the glass like a rolling tide
Your fingers tracing patterns on my chest
The whole restless world laying down to rest
Rain on the zinc like a lullaby
Playing us a rhythm from the weeping sky
No streetlight reaching where we lie so still
Just the warm and the dark and the windowsill

Let it rain, let it rain all night
We ain't got nowhere to be by the morning light
Wrap me up in the sound of the falling proof
That there's love under the zinc roof

Under the zinc roof, holding you close
(mmm, mmm)
Rain writing love on the walls like a ghost
(mmm, mmm)
Let the whole storm pour and move
There's a warm little world under the zinc roof
(mmm, mmm)

Zinc roof (holding you close)
Zinc roof (the rain and the ghost)
Nothing outside gonna bother us two
Under the zinc roof, me and you

Kettle whistle low in the other room
Two cups on the table in the candle gloom
Steam on the glass and the sweet perfume
Moonlight leaking in the darkened room
Your heartbeat slow like the coming tide
And the storm outside got no way inside
We been through the years and the cold and the worn
But nights like this is why we born
Rain don't ask us to hurry or to move
It just holds us gentle under the zinc roof

Let it rain, let it rain all night
We ain't got nowhere to be by the morning light
Wrap me up in the sound of the falling proof
That there's love under the zinc roof

Under the zinc roof, holding you close
(mmm, mmm)
Rain writing love on the walls like a ghost
(mmm, mmm)
Let the whole storm pour and move
There's a warm little world under the zinc roof
(mmm, mmm)

Zinc roof (holding you close)
Zinc roof (the rain and the ghost)
Nothing outside gonna bother us two
Under the zinc roof, me and you

Let the gutter overflow and the river climb
We got everything we need for the rest of time
Not a mansion, not a light, not a golden proof
Just your hand in mine under the zinc roof
Every drop a little song
Keeping us where we belong
Let the whole storm rattle the old tin sky
Under the zinc roof, you and I

Zinc roof (holding you close)
Zinc roof (the rain and the ghost)
Nothing outside gonna bother us two
Under the zinc roof, me and you

Under the zinc roof, holding you close
(mmm, mmm)
Rain writing love on the walls like a ghost
(mmm, mmm)
Let the whole storm pour and move
There's a warm little world under the zinc roof

Under the zinc roof (mmm)
Listening to the rain
Under the zinc roof (mmm)
Just you and me again
