about

A folk song about the things that remain after a fire – metal, glass and clay – and a promise that what endures is our connection to each other.

lyrics

Vapor
Words and Music by Rain Perry
©2019 Precipitous Music/BMI

What lasts is metal, glass and clay
The rest becomes vapor and burns away
We’re here for a minute, so what will it be?
I’ll matter to you – you matter to me

From a father who vanished when you were so young
Your sister got the jewelry – you got the gun
The gun that is burned beyond all repair
With the boxes of letters and the old lock of hair

[chorus]

The words that a girl pours on a page
The pictures from the first time she stands on a stage
Each steel string – every ivory key
All the objects that proved who I used to be

Monuments crumble – signs wear away
But I’ll love you until my dying day
When the time comes that no one remembers my name
I’ll love you the same

[chorus]
