Me Without You - The Dryness And The Rain lyrics

First came a strong wind ripping off rooftops like bottle caps And bending lampposts down to the ground Then came a thunder shattering my windows But you were not that strong wind or that mighty sound That left the barn in shambles, the rabbit hutch in ruins The split-rail fence splintered and the curtains torn All the cows out from the pastures trampling on the pumpkins And the horses from their stables ambling in the corn Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salaam Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salaam I've flown unnoticed just behind you like an insect And I've watched you like a falcon from a distance as you pa**ed Then swooped down to be nearer to the traces of your footsteps To pick the fallen grain from the pressed down dirt and crooked gra** And I'm gonna take that grain and I'm gonna crush it all together Into the flour of a bread as small and simple and sincere As when the dryness and the rain finally drink from one another The gentle cup of mutual surrender tears A fish swims in the sea while the sea is in a certain sense Contained within the fish, oh, what am I to think Of what the writing of a thousand lifetimes Could not explain if all the forest trees were pens And all the oceans ink? (Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salaam) Nastagh-firuka ya Hokan Ya Dhal-Jalah wal-Ikram Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salaam (Isa ruhu-lah 'alaihis-salat was-salaam) Ya Halim, ya Qahhar Ya Muntaqim, ya Ghaffar La Ilaha ilallahu, Allahu akbar
