Eleanor, It's Raining Now Lyrics

Long time ago, you left a track of flame across my floor
Long time ago, the form of God was knocking at our door

And in the sky, fire
Eleanor, it's raining now
We walked a thin wire
Eleanor, it's raining now

Long time ago, we wrapped another ring around the moon
Long time ago, we named the world and watched it break in two

In the folds of the dress on the chair, I can see your face
I am the cross and the nail you bear
You are my curse and my saving grace

Long time ago, God whispered words and names we can't recall
Long time ago, we hid our shame outside the garden wall

And it's a cruel winter
Eleanor, it's raining now
On the last sinner
Eleanor, it's raining now
