lyrics

Christmas day
There's rain in the Carolina sky
The radio's singing songs for Jesus
And I'm wondering if anyone
Ever got saved

New Year's Day
Robins dance in dirty snow
They were searching for alibis
Beneath the stones
And the smoke from the fire
Keeps the night away

And when the rain is pouring down
They say it didn't make a sound
They say it didn't touch the ground
It fell just for you
And when you're falling down
They say you didn't touch the ground
They say you never make a sound
On the day that you die

And you're drinking on some beach
Where our stories
Are out of reach
And the oceans
They have all dried up

You laugh and say
It's always the same three chords
Oh you laugh and say
It's always the same three chords

But I never wanted to sing for you
'cause we wrote our future
In the curves of the power lines
And we all forgot
Something that was left
Left behind

And when the rain is pouring down
They say it didn't make a sound
They say it didn't touch the ground
It fell just for you
And when you're falling down
They say you didn't touch the ground
They say you never make a sound
On the day that you die

'Cause you were right
It's always the same three chords
You were right
It's always the same three chords
It's always the same damn song
And we always sing along
It's always the pills, the pills, the pills
The bottles, the refills

And we change our hair
And we change our clothes
And we burn old conversations
And we carry your ashes with us
Everywhere we go

But I still have
A photograph of you

I still have
A photo of you

It reminds me
Reminds me it's true

You came down to the sand
With a drink in your hand
You pointed beyond the waves
And you said let's swim out
To the shores of a better song
And somedays I swear
I still see you standing there

When the rain falls
Just for you
