Wrote this under my canopy at Kerrville in a mud bath... you can almost smell the rain!

Lyrics

Rain Song – Bill Nash – DGDGBE 3 string capo low note fret 7
Or DAEGAD 3 string capo from low side fret 5,
3 string capo from high side, fret 7

Rain falls on me and it's like we've never met
Drops as big as a sea I haven't sailed on yet
Breathing comes so easy when the air is this moist
Like returning to the fish I might have been
My skin is clammy and dry's a long gone memory
Though I'm sure I'll see it again

Rain is so cheap, I've never paid a cent
Pure humidity, it's free, there is no rent
I wish that other things in life were as easy to find
As the rain that falls on this planet's face
I take work and I work hard in that 9 to 5
I wish I could take a rainfall's pace

Rain cleanses me, it purifies my debt
My joy is plain to see, even though I'm soaking wet
This rain could go on all day, soaking the ground
Making all things living turn to green
Life is blooming, life is shouting, trying not to drown
It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen

When will I see the time this rain is spent
Lord hear my plea, I'm so tired of being wet
I know there is a plan to this, the reasons should be clear
Though right now it's not so plain to me
I long to see the sun again, or at least a full moon
But in my sight it's clouds and rain I see

Rain falls on me, drops as big as is sea
I think I need a rain check on this rain fall
Falls on me, falls on me
