Lyrics
In the Cleansing Rain
(c) 2018 Kristina Stykos
I want to rest in the play of the shadows
I want to lie in the cool of the water
I want to touch you
I want to go where there is no reception
Only tall meadow grass and the sky’s reflection
I want to reach for you
I want to wash you in the light
In the sunset, in the night
I want to sleep in the cleansing rain
I want to let it all go down
Like hidden rivers in the ground
I want to fall with you
I want to toughen up my wiles
I want to cover every mile
Of back wood scrub with you
I want to race you
And then embrace you
I want to sleep in the cleansing rain
I want to sit in the shade of an apple
Watch the clouds and the shifting blues
I want to trust you
I want to trip like a lark on the breezes
Take you up in my heart and release you
I want to free you
I want to wash you in the light
In the sunset, in the night
I want to sleep in the cleansing rain
