When dark clouds rule my island’s skys
And fill my mind with whats and whys
The thunder’s music sooths my troubled soul
The warm air smells of summer rain
The downpour’s sound erases pain
And lightning somehow makes my spirit whole
Raindrops fallin’, storm clouds callin’
Callin’ out, callin’ out my name
I am fallin’, fallin’ at the callin’
Can’t resist the calling of the rain
And as the drops roll down my face
I pray today I may embrace
The turmoil of the sudden thunderstorm
So loud yet somehow calm and still
That tames my heart, restrains my will
A cooling rain that makes me strangely warm
Raindrops fallin’, storm clouds callin’
Callin’ out, callin’ out my name
I am fallin’, fallin’ at the callin’
Can’t resist the calling of the rain
So sittin’ on the cool wet sand
I hold the raindrops in my hand
The storm moves on and leaves me soaking wet
I’m caught up in the fading light
I’m swallowed by a mist-filled night
The rain and I a fabulous duet
Raindrops fallin’, storm clouds callin’
Callin’ out, callin’ out my name
I am fallin’, fallin’ at the callin’
Can’t resist the calling of the rain
