Looks Like Rain

All the rivers are bending

And the mountains are peaking

And the flowers are blooming

And the meadows are rolling

Into waves, they wash up on the shore

And barely touch your toes

The clouds are crowding around us

For some reason, no one knows

And I said, "Hey, looks like rain"

Then you lifted your hands and prayed

"Go away, you can come back some other day"

But they stayed and you soaked under all of the grey

And the rain washed all our cries and pleas away

Now the season is changing

And the leaves now are turning

And the birds aren't singing

And the grass isn't green anymore

Than it used to be when the sunbeams lit it up

And the clouds are crowding around us

Just to say they've had enough

And I said, "Hey, looks like rain"

Then you lifted your hands and prayed

"Go away, you can come back some other day"

But they stayed and you soaked under all of the grey

And the rain washed all our cries and pleas away

And now the current takes us out

And all the ripples turn to waves

The wind begins caressing

All the branches to a sway

The air shattered the glass

It felt like crystals on your face

I took you in my arms

And I could hear you saying grace

And I said, "Hey, looks like rain"

Then you lifted your hands and prayed

"Go away, you can come back some other day"

But they stayed and you soaked under all of the grey

And the rain washed all our cries and pleas away
