[Verse 1] I found you in the gutter Folded from a late-night storm Little paper cranes in the runoff Still trying to keep their form I picked one up, it trembled Like a note I never sent Your name was written on the bottom Half in rain, half in regret [Pre-Chorus] Now the clouds are gone But you still hang on Tiny white hands Reaching through the lawn [Chorus] Rain gutter cranes Rain gutter cranes You keep on flying Through the drain Rain gutter cranes Rain gutter cranes I put you back You come again [Verse 2] On the porch by the screen door I set the wreckage in a row Six small wings and a wet red thread Dancing where the wind could go You said don’t make a shrine of it But I kept the crease like gold Even bent up, even soaked through Some things still know the road [Pre-Chorus] Now the clouds are gone But you still hang on Tiny white hands Reaching through the lawn [Chorus] Rain gutter cranes Rain gutter cranes You keep on flying Through the drain Rain gutter cranes Rain gutter cranes I put you back You come again [Bridge] Maybe that’s the trick Not to stay untouched Just to bend and bend Till the sky says enough So I trade the flood For a fold in the light And watch those paper wings Hold on one more night [Final Chorus] Rain gutter cranes Rain gutter cranes You keep on flying Through the drain Rain gutter cranes Rain gutter cranes I put you back You come again Rain gutter cranes Rain gutter cranes Little lost prayers Learning rain
