lyrics

I used to count my blessings like water drops;
they fell into my cup but I never had enough.
The Sun could be blinding but I couldn't see.
I had my head in the clouds and my eyes on my feet.

I used to look up at that Sky to see what it had for me...
just rain.

I used to keep my love on a paper bag.
Well, the rain would get it wet, so I'd never get it back.
So, then I got smart with a hard-bound book.
There's a key to get in that the pages can't unlock.

I used to look up at that Sky to see what it'd write for me...
just rain.

I used to have a problem with algebra.
My nights, I'd get down 'cuz my days weren't adding up.
The teacher would be right, I just wouldn't agree.
I would swear by my conviction, but I'd curse my biology.

I used to look up at that Sky like it was testing me...
just rain.

But the rain, it fills my cup
and it sweeps the garbage up
and keeps us floating on.
The rain gave birth to trees
which gave birth to all these leaves
that I've been writing.
Well, the rain may blur your path,
it was never perfect math,
you just keep adding on.
And, if you can look up at that Sky
past all the beauty in your eyes,
just let it rain.

about

Leftmore Denver, Colorado

Leftmore is an indie acoustic rock act from Colorado, started in 2005 by Matthew Shaw and Joe Ziegler. Joe went solo from late in 2009 to early in 2014, one part story-teller, one part emotive melody, and at least one part human. Matt rejoined with Chris Doxtator on drums and Geoff Brent on bass guitar. The lineup now vacillates between the solo, duo, and quartet conditionally based on time-space. ... more
