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
