The Calling of the Rain

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

    Oh, lookit you guys! You're a wonderful team.
    Maybe one day, you'll be discovered as a duet - You write the lyrics to her top hits! Woot.
