Between lightning and thunder three seconds the gap A warm candle glow keeps this wood room from black My cat, she sleeps on an old clippy mat Purring out echoes of faint pitter-pat As the rain pours down in the yard Rain, a most haunting sound Rain makes beautiful music and Rain brings peace upon all whom it falls My subconscious and I are back on speaking terms He is sending me colours and beautiful words And far, far away are the harsh city folk I'm surrounded by country, surrounded by night As the rain pours down in the yard Rain, a most haunting sound Rain makes beautiful music and Rain brings peace upon all whom it falls Through a crack in the window meanders a breeze Aids the mimic of crickets through the rustling of leaves And the ghost need not scare me, they're welcome within To share my rye whiskey and watch with me As the rain pours down in the yard Rain, a most haunting sound Rain makes beautiful music and Rain brings peace upon all whom it falls
