Three Days of Rain

[Verse 1]
It started with three days of rain
Coffee gone cold on the sill
Gray clouds hanging in my chest
Every hour standing still
[Chorus]
Sad eyes to a gentle smile
I was lost for such a long
Long while
Then you found me by the river
Under branches reaching wide
Sad eyes to a gentle smile
You were standing on the brighter side
[Verse 2]
Walked through the park by the river
Mud on my shoes
Empty hands
Thought I was only killing time
Not changing who I am
[Chorus]
Sad eyes to a gentle smile
I was lost for such a long
Long while
Then you found me by the river
Under branches reaching wide
Sad eyes to a gentle smile
You were standing on the brighter side
[Bridge]
That old oak tree
Carving your name with mine
You looked up through the leaves
Said
“We’ll be okay in time” (yeah)
[Chorus]
Sad eyes to a gentle smile
I was lost for such a long
Long while
But you held me by the river
Where the water moves in time
Sad eyes to a gentle smile
Now your hopeful eyes are meeting mine

A touch of reverb for an intimate room feel, double-tracked vocal only on the final hook to underline the hope., gentle, acoustic, sad
