about

This is my song about gravity and drainage patterns..

lyrics

I took a walk through the rain
I'd had enough of your talking, I wanted to sing again
So myself I told, as the water seeped into my clothes
When the raining stops I'll sing my new refrain

So I took my guitar from the back of my car
And I went down to the river
Which was flooding over
And I hadn't travelled far
Before I said "I think I'll stop here, this seems like a good spot here

A good spot for a song

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo

With the guitar slung around my shoulder
That first chord I strummed
But the rain, it just got colder
I turned my back to the wind as my shoes began to take the water in
I said, I'll wait for the rain to stop, then I'll be able to sing

So I took my guitar and I went back to my car
And I just watched the birds on the river and I said to myself
"Where to they find shelter
When they have travelled far?
In the thickness of the leaves they sing louder when the storm clouds gather above them

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo

So then I ran into the rain
Tore off my soaking clothes and I jump into the water stream
And my cold heart grew hotter, as I ducked my head under the water
I might have nearly drowned, but at least I can breathe again

So I flung the guitar into the bac of my car and I said
"What is it about you, I don't think I can sing without you?
And when it's raining hard, I can't dance to the rhythm or bring myself to swim in the river

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo

So I flung the guitar into the back of my car
And I said "forget about you I will sing this song without you
And when it's raining hard I'll just dance to the rhythm
And dive into the rapids of the river"
