lyrics

(rain on tin, gentle)
(oooh... oooh)

Your fry pan hanging on the nail
Your apron folded, worn and pale
I cook the eggs, I flip them slow
The way you showed me years ago
(years ago, ago)

The rain comes in from off the bay
(off the bay)
It sounds like you with things to say

Tin roof rain, sing me home
Tin roof rain, I'm not alone
Tin roof rain — you're in the sound
Tin roof rain falling all around
(all around, around)

Your church hat sits up on the shelf
White flowers stitched around the brim
I wear it when I'm not myself
And hum your favourite morning hymn
(hmm... hmm...)

Tin roof rain, sing me home
Tin roof rain, I'm not alone
Tin roof rain — you're in the sound
Tin roof rain falling all around

They say the ocean takes and gives
(gives, it gives)
You're in the water, so you live
(you live, you live)

Tin roof rain, sing me home
Tin roof rain, I'm not alone
Tin roof rain — you're in the sound
Tin roof rain falling all around

(rain easing)
Sing me home... sing me home...
(oooh)
