July The Innocence Mission

This barren July
We both wake up so dry
That no more tears can leave us
And all we've found
Are roads we can't go down
Eyes on a day we can't see
I hope it comes
I hope that water comes
And drenches us in our clothes
The world at night
Has seen the greatest light
Too much light to deny

You never know
You never really know
And you can't have people figured out
One friend came in
Out of nowhere, with lit
Sparklers in both her hands for me
And saved the day
When I had run away
To envy and black feelings
And the world at night
Could see the greatest light
Too much light to deny
