After The Rain

she hears a shower falling in the morning
the baby says it's time to start the day
he's crying from his crib in the corner
because he doesn't know another way
it was raining when the baby started sleeping,
raining when he woke her up at four
there's a little coming through the plaster ceiling,
there's a bucket in the corner by the door
when the rain comes it washes her clean,
she's running in rainbows like the gutter gasoline
she cries instead of sleeping,
but she'll make it through this pain
she's just waiting 'for after the rain
the dishes from her dinner are still soaking,
it's not a big apartment but it's home
some people say this kind of home is broken,
but the baby's here, she doesn't live alone
when the rain comes it washes her clean,
she's running in rainbows like the gutter gasoline
she cries instead of sleeping,
but she'll make it through this pain
she's just waiting for after the rain
a tiny shoulder works OK for crying,
when the baby goes to sleep she can let go
she rocks him slowly, whispers that she's trying
she thinks he understands, but doesn't know
when the rain comes it washes her clean,
she's running in rainbows like the gutter gasoline
she cries instead of sleeping,
but she'll make it through this pain
she's just waiting for after the rain
