lyrics

Rain

Take the potholes, make ‘em ponds
Oh, shiny droplets, little wands.
Take dry dust, make clay and mud,
Form for me the one I love.

Rain, rain, don’t you leave,
You still have evening up your sleeve.
Rain, rain, don’t let up,
Fill this overflowing cup.

Forever in a grain of sand,
Oh, dripping downspout, Rio Grande.
Every drop a tiny flood
Let me be the one you love.

Rain, rain, don’t you leave,
You have tomorrow up your sleeve.
Rain, rain, stay right here,
Rain a month then rain a year.

Bridge:
Branches drop your nectar words,
Stir your sloshing witches’ brew,
Fill inkwells for the little birds
To dip their dripping pens into.

Gutter, river, waterfall,
Now I can’t see you at all.
Drop my empty bucket down,
Dredge you up, won’t let you drown.

Rain, rain, don’t you leave,
You have forever up your sleeve.
Rain, rain, don’t you go,
Loose your tides and let ‘em flow.
