lyrics

We lived in days of ache and rain
Hung lavender to calm the stench
Of stagnant air and rotting wood

We lived in days of ache and rain
Your body wrapped in mine each night
To calm the rheumatism in our bones

I whispered prayers to sustain my mind
You drank whiskey to do the same
And we lived in days
Of ache
And rain

We dried socks on the fireplace
(Which crackled like the radio)
We caught the drips on china plates

We missed the thumping of our feet
Kicking off the sole-packed dust
And one evening you said to me:

"I whisper prayers to sustain my mind
You drink whiskey to do the same
And so we live in days
Of ache
And rain"

That night you took your shotgun to the barn
And I knitted before I left to find your body
When I came in you sat crying in the hay
Your shotgun had been ruined by the rain

We whispered prayers to sustain our minds
And drank whiskey to do the same
And so we lived in days
We lived in days
We lived in days of ache
And rain.
