Rain Songtext
von John Dawson Read

Rain
Gentle rain, summer rain
Can intoxicate my brain
Insane
Maybe so, but I′ll go
Where the patterned rivers flow
In the rain

So warm is the afternoon
Through my windows open wide
The storm-blown trees play out their tune
I'm drawn to go outside
Outside


Where the calm of the day
Can wash a care away
And I′ll hide
Midst the fresh fragrant green
That I'll be the first to see
Since the rain

Rain
People fly to the dry
From a grey and cloudy sky
Ashamed
They won't know what they′ve missed
If they never have been kissed
By the rain

And oh, how the garden stretches up
To grasp the air
And may I be pardoned if I only
Sit and stare
Sit and stare
As the world is revived
It′s so great to be alive
And a prayer


Seems so little to give
But may everything that lives
Survive
