lyrics

I had a dream I climbed up on
The roof of the Morton Salt factory on Elston
The slanted part with the picture
Of the girl with the umbrella

I wanted to climb on the roof and walk around
To see how it felt and to see what the picture
Looked like up close, would it be what I
Imagined from when I was little, from when I was

Ten years old in my childhood home
Laying in my bed at night
Trying to fall asleep and listening
To rain on the roof

Gentle and steady, drop by drop
Hitting the gutters and running off
Steady and soft, eyes start to close
Falling asleep

And I thought the drops of rain sounded like footsteps
Pacing around on the roof right above me
I knew who it was, turned and saw
Her face in the window

If the things I love lose their taste, can I just do what you’re doing
If the things I love lose their taste, can I just do what you’re doing
If the things I love lose their taste, can I just do what you’re doing
If the things I love lose their taste, then I’ll just do what you’re doing
I’ll just do what you’re doing

Back on the roof of the factory I could
Hear the noise of the rooms right beneath me
Conveyor belts, pencils on clipboards,
Large machines running and co-worker smalltalk:
“How have you been,” “How are you doing,”
“How are your kids,” and “How was the weekend,”
“Did you see the game,” “Do you have the time,”
“No thanks I’m fine”

And I thought of you when you’d work the nightshift
Getting up late, sitting in trailers
Climbing up ladders and checking on temperatures
Staying awake

If the things I love lose their taste, can I just do what you’re doing
If the things I love lose their taste, can I just do what you’re doing
If the things I love lose their taste, can I just do what you’re doing
If the things I love lose their taste, then I’ll just do what you’re doing
I’ll just do what you’re doing

When it rains it pours they say
But I don’t think that’s true
Sometimes the rain comes slow and steady
Sometimes the sun shines clear and true
